PowerSpec V300

Home Premium flawlessly. But there was no manual for the machine itself
so I wonder about some of its internals. I am only using the one SATA
160 GB hard drive right now, but need to buy a power splitter to add my
old HD to transfer files. But then I want to add 4 more HDs, so I need
to buy more splitters. It comes with only one SATA power connector, so I
have an adapter to convert the 4-pin connector to SATA. Then it has only
two big 4-pin connectors and one small 4-pin connector. So, I'll need to
buy splitters for all the power connectors. My question is how safe is
it to load so many HDs into the power supply when I don't know the specs
on the power supply?

box. If it isn't, go to your manufacturers and look up the specs for your
computer.
Without this information you will never know if the present supply will
support 4 extra drives.

That's why I asked. Because I did not see anything.
