Can I Use 6-pin Cable (SATA) From One PSU in another?

I have this PSU (thermaltake toughpower 750W, W0116) that's powering my htpc/server.. I ran out of sata power cables because I'm adding 4 more HDDs (total 10HDDs+ 1 SSD) and both of SATA connectors (6-pin) that's connected to the PSU are already full. I do have 2X 6-pin connectors that are not used (Peripheral & floppy connectors).

Now, I have a NZXT HALE82 750W PSU that's powering my gaming rig. I do have a 6-pin 3X SATA cable that came with this PSU and is laying around. Can I use this cable in my thermaltake PSU's peripheral & floppy's 6-pin connector? Or is the pinout and stuff are all different?

I have a molex 6-pin molex connector that came with the thermaltake's PSU somwhere, I can use this with a molex to SATA cable, but I thought it'd be nicer to just use the SATA cable that's laying around.

TIA
 
Most of the HDDs are WD Green 1, 1.5 & 2TB HDDs anyway, so I believe they won't suck too much juice.

Does each connector in this thermaltake modular (or any PSU for that matter) female 6-pin outlet has a specific amount of power? Or can each 6-pin connector suck as much juice as the +12v can handle?
