I would avoid a splitter >>>> i have messed up drives with them when they dont get a positve connection; however I have experienced great success with these and they are tool less push -on type (well you actually may need a pair of needle nose pliers but they dotn require special tools)

err id rather hav somethin on the safe side rather than making something. anyone found any other item?

Making something ???? perhaps there is a misunderstanding ?? those connectors snap onto your existing sata drive leads from the powersupply; exactly as how the manufacturer of the PSU puts them on ?????

other than that; check newegg or ebay for sata cable splittlers
