No cables to go into hdd and sdd

RottingFlesh · Dec 11, 2016

So the cables didn't come with the hdd/sdd or power supply. I am talking about thestuff you use to put into thestorage I guess so it can start working and that I need help with. Exactly what type of cables would I go about buying? Does it matter? For reference, I have an EVGA SuperNova 650W G2 I believe. Hear somethibg that has to do with a molex wire or whatever? I don't know

To power a SATA HDD/SSD, you would need a SATA data cable. Normally, you will be given at least two SATA cables with your motherboard to use. To power the drive, you only need to use the SATA power plugs from your power supply. Your psu will have 9 sata plugs to use, three on each cable provided.

Yeah that I know. I have SATA cables that came with it, however the other part I guess is something I don't have. I'll show a picture

Try looking at this picture. You see a SATA data cable goes into one of these I believe but they also have pther things you plug into. I am wonderong about that and what it is called. If it comes with the Sata cables, oddly it did not come with mine

If you are talking about the 2x4 pin header on the left, then those are legacy master/slave selectors.you can just ignore them. The connector on the far right is the SATA power and the shorter one just to its left is the SATA data connector.

just two things, the right most two connectors, the longer one (15 flat pins) is sata power from the psu, the shorter one (9? flat pins) is the sata data cable. Nothing else needs to be plugged in.

I see .well I'll check my computer andsee if I have the data connector as I amsureI have the SATA part and thanks

You've got power going to the drive, now all you need is the data cable plugged in next to it and you are good.

RottingFlesh · Dec 11, 2016

Ahh that's what I need. Okay thanka man. Appreciate the help! Does it matter what kind and if not can you give me a quick link so I can buy it?

As mentioned above you normally get a couple with your motherboard. Anything like this should work.
