You need three of these for data transfer. Watch the length to make sure they will reach. Watch the shipping - it may cost more to ship than the price of the cable, if you are not careful. Newegg has combined shipping costs for me on multiple orders of the same small product, so it may help to buy three of the same thing. The only other factors to consider are color and weather to buy straight or right angle connectors. Right angle is needed only if room is tight because of a small case or very large graphics card.

Power connections should be available on your existing power supply. Check back for adapters if your PSU is lacking.

Check if you MB didn't come with a few SATA cables and check if your PSU has SATA power connector (should look something like that). If it doesn't then (you have a really old PSU, it should be dying soon ) you will need something like this.

eloric thank you for the link, i was looking at those cables but wasn't sure about which to get

zenthar, thanks for the power clarification i have a brand new PSU but i did not know that some of the cables were power connectors

and my mobo came with no cables except its own power connector

for both of you, which brand is the best for SATA cables?

 

[eloric]

I honestly have no idea who makes any of the cables. I just have a collection of them from all the motherboards that I have purchased.

 

[mavroxur]

It generally makes no difference what brand the cables are. Honestly.

yes,those will work well

 

[Zenthar]

Yes the cable will work

and what is a connector number?

"Connector number" is just a confusing way NewEgg has of saying "Number of connectors", 2 just means it has 2 ends .
