I have a Dell EMC PowerEdge R440 , which has 8 sata hotswap bay, but I want to add hotswap bays in the 5.25 slots too.
The problem is power. damn dell just use proprietary connectors all over ...

how to I add more sata power in the best way ?

I found that there are actually two extra sata power connectors connected to the backplane, can you just add a splitter to these two existing connectors ?
