Yup, it can. Just dont connect ALL 4 drives to a single cable, divide it evenly, so one wire doesnt draw too much (not really dangerous, but its good practice)

S12ii 620 is not modular. Corsair CS550m is a semi-Modular psu. For fully modular, get seasonic g550.
Semi modular go for seasonic m12ii 650/620.

why do you want modular? any special reason?

cause rt now,, in my PRO550, the wiring is such a mess... mine is a bottom mounted caby... along with a 120mm fan at the bottom,,
so its really a mess,,without modullar..
so if i m getting a modullar for a small extra amount,,then y not get that.

- - - Updated - - -

semi modullar will also do for me if there isnt any problem in them...
and main thing is if my system can run on 500 or 550w then i wont go for 600 or 650w,,,
so 1st thing would be to select teh watt properly,,, along with modullar or semi modullar....stuff..
