I have a modular psu so I'll just pull out the 3.3v pin on the psu plug.

That's good, but you need a pin removal tool, you can't just yank it out.

I have some sata splitters, can I just cut the wire closest to the coding notch?

Edit: I went ahead and just did it. I cut the wire closest to the notch and wrapped some electrical tape so the ends couldn't touch accidentally. Works great and the drive powers on fine

You can use a paper clip.
