Map out the SATA Power Connections

Before you proceed, it is a good idea to map out how you are going to connect the 7 SATA devices using the two 4-connector SATA power cables.

You have 7 SATA devices:

Samsung 850 PRO SSD

Samsung 850 EVO SSD

Western Digital Hard Drive HD1

Western Digital Hard Drive HD2

Western Digital Hard Drive HD3

ASUS DVD Burner

LG Blu-ray Burner

You are going to use the first cable to connect the 2 SSD drives, and the two Hard Drives HD2, and HD3.

You are going to use the second cable to connect the DVD burner, Blu-ray burner, and the top Hard Drive HD1.

With this game plan in mind, it is a good idea to label these two SATA power cables.
