is this still the only cable option to power an extra ssd?

the integrated controller for the 12 3.5 bays is being passed through to a truenas vm.
the 2 rear flexbay drives are mirrored zfs sas drives running proxmox off of a lsi pci controller.

i would like to add an SSD and move the vms over to it. preferably 2 if possible. So my question is, is this the only cable that would work? or does someone know of a cable that can power 2 ssd’s?

oh and what about the power off of the riser card. can this be used for drives?
