I think I might be installing a new HDD soon so I'd like to know.

I have a STRIX B250H GAMING motherboard and i don't remember what PSU I had but I think it's a 650W bronze

Your motherboard may have come withe extra SATA cables, unless you used them up with your initial build. In which case, yes, you would need to buy extra SATA data cables.

As for the SATA power cables, just open up the case and look for the connectors.
