So it seems like a power cable but its connected to the first hdd. And i want to install another hdd, because i don't know what type of cables should i buy, i want to use that one instead but then the cables will be connecting between my 1st hdd and my 2nd hdd which im about to install. Will that work? Or i have to buy another cable which is very unlikely because idk what type of cable i should buy.

I already have a sata data cable thingy (the one that makes sound when its already intact)

That is a SATA power cable.
Most PSUs should have more than one of those, so you usually wouldn't need to buy more cables.
Have you checked the rest of your cabling?

That is a SATA Power cable, that and a SATA Data cable (smaller one) are required for HDD's & SSDs (SATA ones).

What PSU do you have? Most come with at least 2-3 of those SATA Power connections, usually on the same line.

Just wanted to add, PSU cables are not interchangeable. Don't buy more cables unless you know they will work with your PSU.

That PSU should have 6 SATA Power connections so there hold be no issue adding in more drives.
