Be Quiet PSU cables puzzle

Planning to use be Quiet Straight Power 11 750W PSU. The SATA cables seem to have special connector at the PSU end. I am also planning to use be Quiet 900 Pro Rev 2 full tower. I may need longer SATA cables and not sure if I can buy 3rd party ones as the PSU connector end can be a problem. Can anyone using this PSU / case advice please? Or is there an extension that I can use to extend the length of one SATA power cable to reach the external 5.25" bay if necessary?

You can use something like this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xspc-sata-power-extension-cable-60cm-wc-46y-xs.html to extend the PSU cable length.

You should remove that amazon link btw - breaks forum rules.

The BeQuiet Straightpower 11 750w is a good psu but they just don't match other brands warranty as it only has 5 years. A better buy would be the considerably cheaper Corsair RM series 750w which has double the warranty at 10 years. This psu has not long been relaunched due to it being much improved over the original version. It's still gold rated and fully modular but is a better buy than the BeQuiet. It's out of stock on here but is widely available at the same price from other retailers.
