I wish the SATA design/spec would have allowed power within the SATA data connector too, instead of a separate cable...

Fun fact, if you are working inside a small annoying case like a dell, and you're too lazy to move things out of the way and unsure if the cable needs to be flipped over, you can look in the cable, and the elbow of the L shape inside of the connector goes in the center of the drive.

Can I plug this any of the sata ports? Like It's sata 3 but I'll plug it In the Sata 1 which the mother board clearly says that it is the sata 1-4 ports...

Why I can't plug the sata power to my Hard drive

[shefpanda]

i’m entirely new to pcs. I bought a new sata ssd and installed it, replacing a previous one. But my monitor says no operating system found when i power it on. Do i need to get windows onto the new ssd, if so how do i do that? There is also only one sata plug in my computer. Please help

The plug on my psu on sata didnt match i thnk. I cant connect it

[MacaroniMatt]

Does it matter which sata data port I plug it into on the motherboard?

[Lakesideplays]

I have a small ssd and my sata cables won’t work what do I do

[rileyssj]

can i change my sata power cable because it has damage and i think that's the reason why my pc not turning on stuck in reboot and select proper boot device

So right now I’m using the plug of sata to usb and I have the ssd running fine that way, I wanted to plug it directly into the motherboard like the way you showed, I ordered a data cable from amazon and hooked the sata cable of the psu to it, it ran verrryyyy slowwww and windows was unusable, I tried to change the sata port and the sata cable used two times and its the same.. what can I do? There is still like 2 sata cables of the psu that I haven’t tried but booting it up takes so long that I gave up trying the rest of the sata cables.

Is it necessary to connect the sata power to the motherboard?
