Missing SATA cables for HDD

[willzy564]

Hello, i recently purchased a 2TB Western Digital HDD for the rig I am building and while building I noticed on how the tutorial I was watching had SATA Cables being connected to the HDD and I had a look around in the packaging of my motherboard etc and it wasn’t there, the HDD I bought just came in plastic packaging, was there meant to be a SATA connector with like the smaller right angled connector port along with an 8 pin port, or do I need to buy that separately.
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01
Mobo: ASUS H81M-PLUS
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 380X
CPU: Intel i5-4690K
PSU: ThermalTake LitePower 750W
RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4
If someone can help me find a cheap and easy solution it would be very appreciated. Thanks.

The wide power cable comes from the PSU, while the narrow data cable plugs into the motherboard.

If you need it right away, then there is no option but to pay a high price in local stores. But if you are willing to wait, then such things are quite cheap online.

It only has the obvious cables like the Main Power Connector, ATX 12V Connector and the PCI-E Connector, but it has the Large SATA Connector Port, Peripheral Connector and the Floppy Connector. I am only missing the smaller SATA cable which connects to the Mobo, which I have found in a local store for a small price. There is also an 8 pin connector on the HDD too and I do not have the cable for that too. Is it compulsory to have the 8 pin connector though?

Your PSU should have five SATA power connectors. It's the one on the far right

The 7-pin SATA data cable goes from the Mobo to the drive. Nothing plugs into those 8 pins but any jumpers it comes with.

Yes I do have those SATA connectors, one is already plugged into the HDD, thanks for letting me know if I needed to buy a cable for the 8 pin, ill be getting the other cable to plug into the Mobo. And again, thanks for the help. 😀
