What SATA Cable do I need to buy for this Hard Drive?
Hello, I'm upgrading my PC. I've bought the same Hard Drive I put in when I first built my PC:

My motherboard came with two SATA Cables, but I used them for my HDD and Optical Drive and don't know which SATA Cable to buy.

My motherboard comes with SIX SATA cables (I noticed it just now, I am doing my first build as well). This is part of things included in the price we pay when choosing better brands and models, that some people think it's squandered money ;) .
