I've got the Corsair 620W modular PSU and it comes with 2 SATA power cables with 2 inline connections. Is it safe to plug the cable into the PSU and then from there into 1 SATA HDD and 1 SATA DVD Writer? I mainly ask because I'm trying to cut down on the cluttered cables. Or is this 2 in 1 cable mainly used for 2 optical drives?

...are you asking if you can use both of the SATA connectors that are on the same cable? If yes...of course beer that is why there are there

Even if they aren't the same type of device?

I don't see why that would be an issue

But to be honest, no, there is nothing wrong with doing that. Not like the power supply can tell the difference
