Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD question...


I have the Seagate Barracuda 200Gb HDD (SATA) and I would like to know which cables do i have to connect to the HDD for it to be able to work. The only cable that I have that fits is the RED SATA cable. Are there any other cables that need to be connected?

It needs power still. You can buy molex to SATA power adapters at most computer stores.

The SATA cable goes from your HDD to your motherboards SATA ports, and the SATA power conector goes from your HDD into the PSU. Its the thing that looks like a really wide SATA cable.

You let an hour pass then expect an answer? 34rd has a good image of what the cable looks like, it should have come with your motherboard. If not you can always buy one from newegg
