Powering the backplane

#1
I'm planning to buy a Jonsbo N6 case. Before doing so, I'd like to understand how the power connectors work. The N6 has two SATA power connectors and two Molex connectors. I'm considering using the Corsair SF850(2024) power supply. This power supply has three output ports (and therefore three cables): SATA power and PATA. How should I connect these three cables correctly? Can I connect the two SATA power cables and a single Molex cable, leaving the last Molex connector free? Or is it better to connect it to the second Molex connector (in series) on the same cable? I plan to install four hard drives, each drawing approximately 25 watts at startup, placed anywhere in the case. My BIOS doesn't allow me to delay the drive startup times. Will this approach allow me to meet the power requirements of all nine drives? Thank you in advance for your advice.
