Hello,
My current setup on my PC is 1 HDD and 1 SSD installed. I am thinking of getting a new ssd, more specifically the 850 Samsung Evo 250Gb(I am open to any recommendations for alternative ssd's too since this one seems like an old model), and unfortunately it seems that my Evga 750W GQ only comes with 2 SATA III data cables which are already used up by my other 2 storage devices. I looked up online for SATA III data cables and for a mounting bracket just in case my current mount does not support 2x2.5", and saw this on amazon....

So from what I can tell, this will give me a new mounting bracket and 2 new SATA III data cables which I can use. I would just like to make sure that with this, I should be set for installing my new SSD with no problem? One other question that I have is that there is about 2 free SATA power plugs on one SATA power cable if you know what I mean. I am a little concerned that I may not be able to use them simply because of how I might need to "bend" and manipulate one of plugs in order to connect to the SSD properly at a decent angle. If I will not be able to use them, which of the 2 sata power cables should I use from the amazon product shown above? The product comes with 2 different SATA power cables, one 4 Pin to Dual 15 Pin SATA Power Cable(16 cm), and one 15 Pin to Dual 15 Pin SATA Power Cable. Hopefully I will not need to use those cables but just in case I do, can someone please explain which one I need to use?
Thank you
