Hey, with my PSU I only got 2 power leads for sata. 1 is being used for my cd drive, the other is being used for 2 hard drive. I need another for my other 2 hard drives. However on the box it says only use original corsair products. Is it ok to buy another brand?

Thanks!

edit: thinking about it is there only 2 for a reson? Will 520 watts be able to cope with the rig in my sig + 2x500gb hard drives + 1x80gb hard drive?
 
SATA PSU power connections are just 12V connections but with SATA connectors and not 4 pin molex connectors. (I think?) You can get 4 pin molex to SATA adaptor cables for next to nothing.
