I have a second 500 GB SSD that I would like to install. Its a Samsung SSD and I was able to mount it in the case but I dont have the wires that go to it. Furthermore Im not sure exactly where to plug these into the motherboard. If anyone can give me some advice on this or direct me to the proper install kit on I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

 
The drive should have two cables: one for power and another for data. The power cable should come directly from the power supply. Look for a tip like this

The other cable would be called a SATA cable and should be available for a few bones online:

It goes to a port on the board like this
