Hey all.

I have recently run out of space on my SSD. I now want to add my old, very large (in comparison) HDDs to the build. I have more SATA cables (I think they're SATA 3), but when I try to connect 'em nothing shows up. Any help?

My HDDs: WD2500 (JS-00MVB1) [7200 RPM]

My Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/B85

it should work ok. you can only plug them in one way, there is a small tilted "L" if you look at the interface cable it only fits one way on the hdd. make sure to connect also the power conn for the hdd. another slightly longer "L" and a black power connector comming from the psu to match it
