That can be part of the problem.

Some newer PSUs have multiple power lanes.  Say one lane is designed
to drive 2 peripherals, but the unsuspecting user (or PC builder) adds
a couple of Y splitters and drives 4 peripherals with it.  Can be
trouble.

I've got a big tower chassis with 15 drive slots.  If I ever filled it
up, I would have to really watch how the power was distributed and not
just go from one Y connector to the next.

I've actually been thinking how cool it would be to get a big 3ware
card and fill that thing up with 1TB drives.  There price has dropped
to $240 or so on sale, so for a few $K, I could build a nice 10TB
machine!!!!

I'll save that for another thread on another day.
