Cables for the Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive

RolandDeschain19 · Sep 23, 2015

What cables do I need for the 850 EVO? Will a SATA cable be enough? I was thinking of buying this one:

Will it work with my new drive and Is that all I need?

Any SATA 3 cable will do, check the length that you need. You will also need a SATA power plug from your psu, make sure the cable can reach the drive.

SATA cable between the mobo & SSD and a power cable from the PSU....that's it.

I've ran out of cables from my power supply. This is my power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017. Does it matter what power cable I get ?

RolandDeschain19 :

You can always get a molex to SATA adapter like this to power it:

Do you mean you have something connected to all six SATA power plugs? It's quite possible to power multiple drives off of each cable, in case that's causing any confusion.
