Well you may want to be careful with that much on one lead. I guess the only thing that can go wrong with what you are connecting is your drives may drop out or not be happy due to lack of current. Please post back and let us know how it goes.
Not even funny.
Not sure if this helps or not... The maximum you should have on a single molex 4 pin connector (from the PSU) is 18a to 20a. Standard modular cables seem to carry a dual molex split natively, so I surmise that this means ~36a to ~40a.
If someone else could confirm, if it helps.
Not quite. You can't just double up like that. Even if you split a wire halfway, then the whole current still needs to get through the first bit. AWG18 wire is only rated for 14 amps at best, European equivalent less so. The more you draw, or the longer the cable, the more the voltage drop and heat dissipation. Moreover, drives usually draw most (if not all) from the single 5V wire, so you need to presume that everything is going through that one. The difference with PCI/EPS cables is that those have multiple wires carrying the same voltage to spread the effect of resistance.

To the OP:
Doesn't the AX750 come with several sata cables? You could buy some pop-on sata connectors and cut off some/all of the original connectors.

Im running eight 1TB WD 2.5" drives and several SSDs off one power lead. No issues.
