Hello,

I just bought a modular PSU. There's one cable that contains 3 connectors at different lengths. I was wondering if I can use that one cable, and use 2 connectors for the harddrive and cd rom drive, or would I need to use 2 separate cables for each peripheral?

There's no limit on how many of the connectors you can use from one SATA power cable. SATA devices just don't use enough power to get anywhere near the maximum power available from one cable.

Just like lehtv said, you can use just one cable. But more importantly is if it be long enough to stretch between the two devices.. If it reaches, then your good.
