That's a fantastic choice of components! To address your power concerns for the Jonsbo N6 backplane and your nine drives, you are on the right track. You should use all three of your Corsair SF850's peripheral cables: two separate SATA cables (using the first connector from each) and the single Molex/PATA cable (using two connectors in series). This connection strategy is vital as it distributes the load across three different modular outputs, which is ideal for power stability, especially during the high-current startup phase. Regarding the load, the SF850 is an extremely robust 850W PSU, and a 225W surge from all nine drives starting simultaneously is well within the unit’s capability, meaning you don't need to worry about the lack of delayed startup in your BIOS. Your plan will successfully meet the power requirements.
