Also posted this above to a previous poster but you won’t be notified so I will post it here as well.
Unfortunately it doesn’t say in the manual. It only says that if you use 4 HDDs you should use a 90W DC 19V power brick. I already ordered one, my confusion was if the 4 pin cable supports 2 HDDs but I guess since the board has 2 SATA slots and cable also has 2 SATA power connectors. I plan to most likely use 2x WD Red Plus 8TB, they use 6.2W (load), 4.1W (idle)

Huh. Kind of surprised it supports up to four drives, but if that’s what it says, there you go. Shouldn’t be any risk of drawing too much current through the wire. At most the board or PSU would shut down.
Also, if you are putting more drives in, see if the BIOS lets you enable staggered spin-up, so that they aren’t all peaking at the same time.

Will do, thanks!
