Question No SATA power cables ?

[anonsky]

I have an old Acer proprietary, I basically salvaged everything in it for my new PC, I have since gave that computer to my sister so I'm trying to get it back and running, the problem is, the PSU inside this thing has no SATA power cables. I remember it had a weird six pin to sata power cable but I think I threw it away or just lost it.I'll provide the picture of the header but I don't remember exactly how the adapter itself looked like. Whenever I try to look for a six pin to SATA power cable I only really get six pin PCIE to SATA cables. I know I can just buy a m.2 ssd but I'm a bit broke rn.

Edit: There are no molex cables either. I was wondering if I should buy a fan hub and then get a pwm to sata cable but im a bit scared that they might fry from too much power

It would help us twofold if you were to tell us what the model and SKU for your Acer prebuilt is. Perhaps the harness you're referring to can be narrowed down per the model and SKU of your prebuilt.

Perhaps this would work;

? It looks like the harness should plug onto the motherboard's highlighted connector.

Looks like it to me.

Show, what are available connectors coming out of PSU.

Fan connector doesn't provide 5V power required for SATA drives. Stupid idea.

3.5" HDDs do not require 5v. only 2.5" and SSDs do.

Ekhm ... yes they do require 5V.
Written right there - on the label.
You're probably confusing 5V with 3.3V.

You don't want feed +3.3V up pin 3 on the data connector to some (SAS) hard disks because it's been re-defined as a Reset pin and the drive doesn't start up when pin 3 is held at +3.3V. Hence the Kapton tape mod or Molex to SATA power adapter.
