It seems there might be confusion regarding the power supply issue. Could you clarify which specific component or problem you're experiencing? Are you unsure if it's related to the PSU, a drive, or both? Let me know so I can assist better.

It seems like you're unsure about the situation. There might be an issue with the hardware, possibly the HDD or PSU, which could fail soon, though I'm not certain.

It is time to replace PSU. Molex connectors do not work properly for a long time. I mean, in three molex connectors that PSU has, I have used them a lot by connecting-disconnecting some old HDDs, that for over 1,5 year now, it is very hard to connect a hard drive, and make it boot up. To give you an example, I must give over 10 connect-disconnect efforts to an ATAPI drive, to make it boot up. They do not work from big usage. And sometimes, over 10 efforts, is not sure that ATAPI drive will take current. Sometimes, that I needed to give molex current to a drive, I give up from many tries. I know that it is time for PSU replacement. And that's what the conversation did, if PSU is fine, and just one let's say power sata cable needs replacement, where do I buy that? I think common market, does not have right cables. To give you an example, let's say I need to replace following power SATA cable: Somewhere I have read that there are conventional cables and there are specific CoolerMaster cables, and for specific CoolerMaster models. But, from the other hand, cables of each company (I take CoolerMaster as an example) are very expensive. It is kind of a complex thing. Could you tell me something about all that?

It's usually not worth spending extra money on additional cables—they tend to be too costly. You could attempt to use a single high-quality SATA power source and purchase a cable splitter with solid connectors. However, I’d prefer to invest in a fresh power supply, like a good BeQuiet model.
