Windows 10: Power Supply plug for Harddrive?

Hello, I got a Xigmatek Elysium case and a rx-530ss power supply. I recently got a new SSD and wanted to install it together with my 1tb HDD, but there is only one power cable, though it splits into another one backwards.I was wondering if its safe to use this cable together. It came with the PSU. I am also struggling to plug the split section into the SSD and there's no safe way to put them both without them falling off the rack. I also got two new SATA3 cables.Is it safe to do it or must I just use the SSD and install the OS on it and use my External harddrive for storage?

:)

 

New Seagate harddrive disconnects until **power plug** is pulled

You are right. Seagate Drive Settings is not listed in the supported software for Windows 10.
I have been using it with Windows 7 and 10 so I did not realize there was supposed to be a problem.

Seagate Dashboard should be used instead.

Dashboard can be used for:
