The risk was poorly-made power adapters, where 2 pins could short/arc. These cables were almost exclusively injection molded and sold through cut-rate outlets like Ali Express (and Amazon resellers of them).
Technically crimped cables are not immune, but they are rarely seen with such cost cutting. Quality molded cables are also fine, but that is very difficult to recognize or verify after purchase.
The manual should tell you the power limits, and you can cross-reference the power usage of the drives. It's probably ok for normal consumer drives, but high-draw or enterprise drives could be an issue. You could also (probably) just get power from the PSU.
Unfortunately it doesn't say in the manual. It only says that if you use 4 HDDs you should use a 90W DC 19V power brick. I already ordered one, my confusion was if the 4 pin cable supports 2 HDDs but I guess since the board has 2 SATA slots and cable also has 2 SATA power connectors. I plan to most likely use 2x WD Red Plus 8TB, they use 6.2W (load), 4.1W (idle)
Thanks.
