Unfortunately the fires are a real thing, though they don’t seem as prevalent anymore. Basically the issue is that cheap poorly made molded sata power connectors can degrade and catch fire, of which there are copious examples online. Here’s a good video that breaks down why this was/is likely happening: What's Inside the Bad Molex to SATA Adapters (And Possible Failure Modes) - YouTube Additionally, by using a port multiplier, the bandwidth between the devices can be increased significantly over traditional methods, resulting in faster data transfer speeds.

Ease-of-use – With plug-and-play technology, connecting a device via a single SATA cable requires no additional setup or configuration. Please keep in mind however that we ALWAYS use at least 16 AWG Wire capable of higher current, no matter which PSU we are modding. We also use solder type connectors rather than the punch down style which has less resistance (and thus, less heat and better power transfer).Simply put, hot plugging is the capability to add or remove devices to a computer system whilst the system is switched on and running. As well as being able to add and remove devices while a machine is active, hot plugging functionality means operating systems can automatically recognise the device being added without any need to restarting. Those used to the legacy computers and interfaces would be familiar with the older PATA IDE cables. PATA cables, if you’d recall, could be split. Image: Legacy IDE Cables for PATA interface.
A SATA port multiplier is an advanced storage technology that allows multiple hard drives to be connected to a single SATA host connection. Image: SATA expansion card. One of the most effective and economical ways to increase SATA port count. Yes, you can use one SATA cable for multiple things. This is because a SATA cable is designed to be versatile and highly compatible with many types of devices. Here are the main benefits of using one SATA cable: So for this example, we'll use a Molex brand Molex to Sata cable. Why? Because Molex acutally bother to take the time to specify the parts that make up their assemblies. The spec for this cable is available here. We're only interested in the cable and the sata connector though. But essentially, if you have run out of SATA Ports on your motherboard and want to add more drives to your PC, you can do so using three ways.
Serial buses cannot be split; parallel buses can be broken. SATA DATA Split Cables SHOULD NOT Be Confused with SAS-to-SATA Cables Overall, using one SATA cable provides convenience and flexibility when it comes to connecting various storage devices in your system. Sata Expansion Card
