Need a PSU with lots of 5 pin sata connections

I intend to have 11 3.5 inch hard drives in my system so I will need some combination of 5 pin sata and molex to sata converters.

The corsair VS range don't seem to have quite enough, are Aerocool any good?

The rest of the system will be a Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB DDR4 and a 1060 3g.

Corsair and Seasonic you can buy extra sata cables that you can use to have up to 20 drives.

The Corsair VS series are garbage as are most of Aerocool's units apart from the Project 7 series which are excellent.

How many HDD's could I run off a molex using adapters?

Gone for a Be Quiet 750w Power Zone.

I'm working to a budget and managed to get it for £60, so seems like a no-brainer compared to what I was looking at in that price range.

For that price can't complain i suppose.

They knocked another £12 off because it shipped with an EU power cable, so even more of a bargain.
