Dell Precision T7810 - HDD Power Cable
I am looking for information about the type of cable / connector used to power HDDs in the T7810. I searched the manual, unfortunately I couldn't find it. I am thinking about buying a power splitter (like this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZY0AAOSwneReu271/s-l1600.jpg), and I would like to make sure it's compatible with the motherboard.
"Actually the MB has nothing to do with it."
I meant compatibility in terms of the connector type on the motherboard. It seems 4-Pin Molex is one type;
ATX Mini 4 Pin is another. I am not sure what's used on the T7810.
---"The picture you posted is not quite clear but I believe it looks like this."
Yes, it's similar to that, but it has a power connector on one end:

---"Are you certain that the PSU does not have an extra SATA power cable or that a cable with multiple SATA power plugs is not available in your system?"
I am not certain. I don't have access to it at the moment. But, however many there are, I will need more.

Actually the MB has nothing to do with it. The PSU supplies the power so you need a SATA power splitter from the PSU. Are you certain that the PSU does not have an extra SATA power cable or that a cable with multiple SATA power plugs is not available in your system? The picture you posted is not quite clear but I believe it looks like this.
