coleisme · Jul 23, 2014

Hey I just bought msi z97-g45 motherboard and it only came with one set of sata cables I need 3 to hook up my hard drive,ssd and optical drive this is my first build and when I went on newegg to look to buy some new one I found a bunch of cables that made no sense to me can someone tell me the right name of the cable I need to hook up my ssd, hard drive and optical drive?

coleisme :

Any SATA cable would do (make sure it's rated for SATA II or III).

Hope I helped!

So would this work? StarTech 18-Inch SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable

coleisme :

It probably would, but
1, Link PLS?
2, Try to get something rated for SATA II or III.
3, If nothing's rated, get something with 100% good reviews.

Hope I helped!

The SATA power cables are included with the PSU, connect one to your drives.

Just look for a L-shaped connector like the one on the left.

That's ok , put it in your sig.

Your not allowed to mention in in an open thread .It's considered begging when you mention it as your helping a poster.

coleisme :

Post a picture and I'll use Paint to circle the connectors.

coleisme · Jul 23, 2014
