I currently have an Asrock X99 Extreme6 motherboard and Im looking into getting an SSD.
I know where to mount it and how to I just don't know what cables I need to buy and where to connect them.
I am getting a Samsung 850 Evo 500GB and it only comes with the SSD, a disk and a few booklets.

Looking at the manual number 13-17 are the areas I plug the data cable into correct? If so where does the sata power cable go?
That is the manual to my motherboard. Correct me if I'm wrong but I need a Sata Data Cable and a sata power cable?

This
is a sata data cable but there are so many different sata power cables on amazon I dont know which one is which.

If you guys could please help me find a sata power cable for a samsung SSD and help me find where on my motherboard I plug the data and power cable into that would be great.

Thanks so much in advance!

They both go into the SSD but then where do they go on the motherboard?

"Looking at the manual number 13-17 are the areas I plug the data cable into correct?"
Yes
"f so where does the sata power cable go?"
To the power supply.
"I need a Sata Data Cable and a sata power cable?"
Yes. The data cable comes with the motherboard and the power cable with the power supply. So, theoretically, you should have them both.

Ah okay. The thing is mine is prebuilt and they didn't give me either of those. Do you mind linking me on amazon where I can by both.

Thanks a lot in advance!
