Is it safe to use a molex to sata cable that is crimped not moulded to power a shucked drive? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Modular PSU, the 6-pin (but only 4 are used) goes to the PSU. Here is a image of the cables. https://imgur.com/a/C95FjRi

So I should be fine with the current configuration ofPSU 6-pin to Molex, and then Molex to Sata 3.3 adapter that connected only to this one drive?

The molex cable doesn't have the 3.3v pin on the psu side. So I should be ok?

I don't have kapton tape or want to cut wires as I don't have a spare sata power cable. However I do have a molex power cable and a molex to sata 3.3 adapter that came with my Seasonic Focus GX-750 PSU. It only has 4 wires and does not contain a wire for 3.3v power. The sata connector is crimped and not moulded. My shucked WD180EDGZ-11BLDS0 seems to require the 3.3v pin fix.
