Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5'' HDD 2TB 7200 RPM 512n SAS 12Gb/s 128MB Cache Internal Hard Drive

So I've got two of these and a 250gb evo.
The sata cable fits the ssd, but not the two HDDs... what do I need for those?

They each have a small 4 pin connection and what looks like a large sata plug in. Help!

Thats a SAS drive (they are not compatible with SATA, but you can run SATA in SAS just not the other way around), you need to buy a SAS raid controller or Host Bus Adapter to use them in a normal desktop. Your best option would be to return them for SATA drives.
