Question How do I connect a new HDD to my PC ?

[francismua]

I'm trying to install a new Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS HDD as I only have SSDs and need more overall capacity. However, this was a pre-built custom pc and because of that I'm sure they only provided the necessary power cables for the PSU for the current build. So now I'm trying to connect power to the HDD, I'm not sure if I need to buy a new power cable or if I can use the current adapter connections to attach my new HDD.

I've attached photos of the current cable config. I notice there are two free connections from the power cable, can I attach my HDD to that? Or do I need to buy a new Sata power cable that connects directly to the PSU as there's one spare to the left of the installed cable?

You free sata power cable from zip ties, so it can reach the spot where HDD is installed.
