It's A Digital Disease!

Hey all, I think my molex to sata power connectors have killed their 3rd hard drive... and I'm done. I didn't realize when I bought them how notoriously unreliable they are. I need some kind of solution to be able to plug in the power to my 8 drives, my current PSU, which is a non-modular, but quite stout 850w gold power supply, can drive up to 6 of them. And my case ( https://phanteks.com/product/eclipse-p600s-tg-black/ ) is more than capable of physically holding all the drives I'll ever realistically need. Are there solutions for someone in my spot short of buying a new case that has a backplane or a new power supply that has more ports that won't kill drives (or worse, start fires as I've now been told a molex -> sata is capable of doing?)
