i bought 2 of these: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136534[/url] and i realized it was a bare drive (no cords) . What are [b]all[/b] the cords i need to hook it up? Newegg preferred. Thank you guys
You need a SATA cable, and a SATA Molex power adaptor, if your PSU does not have any power plugs for SATA devices.
This is my psu [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018[/url] Do i need the cord? And if i don't, all i need is the sata cord and thats it? Thanks for the help
Yeah just get the SATA cable
How will it be powered? I didnt know the sata cable could power it. I'm new to this stuff, sorry i'm stupid.
There's a special sata-look-a-like cable that's used to power sata drives. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/SATA_power_cable.jpg[/img] All you'll need is 2 of these; [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270302[/url]
So all i need is 2 sata cables and 2 of those? You guys are great thanks. And those fit on the hard drive right? EDIT: And what about the 8 pin thing on the hard drive
All you'll need is 2 of those, and 2 power cables which are built into any PSU newer than 2004, yours has 6
Wait are you saying i dont need to buy the cables you said? Or i do? Is this all i need to plug my hard drive in [url]https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=10654594[/url]
Your power supply has 6 of the power cables in the image I posted earlier. What you need is 2 of these; [url]http://redirectingat.com/?id=629X1198&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16812270302[/url]
FYI: your motherboard comes with SATA cables, and your PSU comes with the power cables.
[QUOTE=Milky;20854917]FYI: your motherboard comes with SATA cables, and your PSU comes with the power cables.[/QUOTE] True. You should go search your motherboard's packaging for extra sata cables before ordering new ones.
this is my motherboard [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128409[/url] does it come with any. If it does this means i dont have to order anything right?
