Disk Drive Help

sjcoombs · Mar 4, 2014

Hi all,

Recently bought a new system and this is my first build. Will sound like a really stupid question to most but I bought this disk drive http://www.amazon.co.uk/LiteOn-IHAS124-04-Height-Internal-DVDRW/dp/B009GV7ZQG. Problem is it didn't come with a cable. Just wondering if someone will be able to send me an amazon link with the correct cable i need to buy. If it helps I have an ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX mobo.

Thanks in advance
Sam

You need a SATA cable. They come in different lengths so you will need to measure where you want to put it in your case to where it attaches to your motherboard and add a few inches. You probably want a 90 degree for where it attaches to the drive to a 180 degree for where it attaches to your motherboard, but a 180 and 180 would also work.

Right angle = 90 degrees, straight = 180 degrees. You will need to make sure you get the correct length.

Sata cables usually come with the Motherboard.

This, try and look in your mobo box for the cable...
