Installing 2 x SSD in spare optical bay 2008 Mac Pro, power considerations?

thinking of installing 2x SSDs (probably 2x Vertex 3 60GB). i can then use the two unused SATA ports on the logic board to connect them up. the only thing is the power..

i have a ATI 4870 and 3870 installed, and the 4870 uses the 2nd power source from the optical reserve. is there a way to get power to the 2x SSDs in the spare optical bay? splitter perhaps?

Would this Y splitter be what I need?

And not cause too much power draw on the Mac Pro?

Yes. Splitter. 2 SSD's drain so little power you should be fine.

Great thanks. Will the splitter in above link do the job?

Yes I can use this to split the SATA power: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/SATAPAY/

But as mentioned in original post the 2nd power source from the optical reserve is used to power the ATI 4870. So wouldn' I still need this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Belkin/F2N503/

..to power the connections?

Yes, I'm going to have to LOL. This http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Belkin/F2N503/ should do the trick right? in terms of pins and head connectors?

I hope this is not too much loading, but as you say I'm powering SSDs not HDDs.

Yeah the 4870 is a power hog!
