Power Supply not enough for 4 sata hard drives +1 device?

Hello!

I have an issue with my computer. There are 4 sata hard drives installed + 1 M.2 NVMe. The whole set work nice without issues. Now, I added an USB PCIe card and it requires SATA power. I plugged the wires but USB devices plugged in the PCIe card do not work well.

I have an Asus motherboard with an Intel i5 12400F, but before this set, I had a Gigabyte motherboard with an AMD 6350 Six-core CPU. I tried to plug an expansion bay for sata hard drives and it also doesn’t work. If I unplug one hard drive, whatever it is, the drive bay will work and read the inserted hard drive.

Likewise, if I unplug one hard drive now and plug an USB device into the PCIe card, it will work.

Seems lack of power but my PSU is 850W.

Any explanation for this?

  My current motherboard is the Asus PRIME H610M-K D4. The previous motherboard was a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P. The issue happens with both.
