Optiplex 7040 sata power
I see two power cables for sata devices. Can this (180 W) power supply handle an optical drive and 2 SDDs?
If so, how do I connect power to the 3 drives? I see 3 sata data connecters and realize I need an additional data cable, but what about the power?
TIA

use a Dell sata power splitter.

yes no problem at all.
i7-6700 no gpu 2 x ssd 1 x dvd
Load Wattage:169 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:219 W
load wattage is max system power consumption in real world scenario
