wouldn't adding those cause a little much strain on the wires? also i would prefer to not buy more stuff, this is mainly a fun thing to do to use what i have. since my other parts are coming in tomorrow, i don't want to wait for more parts. i have 10 power supplies so i am in no shortness of plugs to add to the wire harness. i got a couple power supplies under 200 watts that i can get the switch and plugs from.– DrazilCommented Sep 2, 2016 at 3:40

No it wouldn't put that much strain on the wires. The hard drives are max 2A so you even if you powered 4 on each run its only 8A max. You should be able to draw 10-12A from each separate run from the power supply.– cybernardCommented Sep 2, 2016 at 3:53

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
