[SOLVED] SATA Power Cable Adapters for 2TB Samsung SSD 860 EVO?

[Lecto_Sama]

To whom it may concern,
Any advice or knowledge you can share would be appreciated. I have an older gaming rig that I have been upgrading over the last 10 years or so. As could be expected, my initial Hard Drive is nearly full & I am looking to add additional storage via a Samsung SSD. My problem is that my Power Supply does not have cables or slots for SATA Power Cords necessary to power the new SSD. I have looked online, & I have no clue what adapters I would need to complete this upgrade. Below I have included pictures of my existing cabling & power supply.

Thank you for your time,

Adapters such as this one are typically not recommended:

Your PSU should have included modular cables to connect to SATA devices (HDDs, Optical drives, etc).

Look at the cables connected to your current HDDs to see if you have an available SATA connector.

That power supply came with sufficient cables to run multiple SATA devices.

Lets say for the sake of argument that I may have lost said cables over the years. Are there any replacement SATA Power cables you would recommend that would fit into the remaining slots on my PSU? Further, is the Samsung EVO even a good SSD?

The ONLY modular cables you can use are ones from that manufacturer, for that specific PSU.
These are not universal.

And yes, the Samsung 8XX series is pretty much the top level in SATA III drives.
I have several (parts list below, bought another 2 weeks ago).

Thank you, that should do the trick! The data cabling is pretty straightforward, so that shouldn't be an issue. Found a handful of quality cables on Monoprice.
