Yes, if the cable has 3 or even 4 sata power connectors on it, you can use them all, the PSU puts out more power when it has to.

Your Corsair power supply should be able to handle anything you plug into it's cables.
Example:
If the power cable has 4 outlet power connection you can use all 4 of them if you so desire.

Corsair or any other quality branded power supply manufacture will not give you cables or connections that can't be used together safely.
