There are 2 x 8 pin connectors. But you only need 3 X 12v and 3 X Ground for each. Forget what # 1, 3, pins are for; possibly just for indications, Think you can leave #1 and #3 empty. You can power them with only 12v and Ground. Yellow is 12v and Grey is Ground. Remember now, that I didn't...

BTW; Powering 12 slots is relatively easy, as you say for SATA. I can only power 24 from 1 PSU by using the HP dl380, b'coz of the integrated 5v/12v on the backplane. But staggered starts do help. In 40 drives, I have a few SAS drives and they are always the last to start, one by one.

Interesting; I have 2 X 12 dl380 full of 24 HDDs. No problem with the power of a 700w ATX ps, AFTER re-pining the cables [re; earlier pages here]. Can be a little difficult. I have various HDD from 8 to 18TB. The two 18TB Exos are six months old. #1 started giving 'Smart Data' test errors after...
