You need Sata 12V for power(That cable is going from your power supply) and Sata Data cable to connect your HDD and motherboard.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

There's two cables that plug into the HDD:

1. SATA Power: E.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/6pcs-SATA-Power-Cable-for-riser-card-15-Pin-To-6-Pin-PCI-EXPRESS-PCI-E/32817376428.html

2. SATA Motherboard cable: https://www.startech.com/ca/Cables/Drive/SATA/8inch-Latching-SATA-Cable~LSATA8

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800XT | RAM: GSkill Trident Z DDR4 3600Mhz | PSU: ADATA Core Reactor 850W 80+ Gold | CASE: Fractal Design Meshify C MONITOR: LG 32UL500-W 4K 60Hz, Gigabyte M27Q 1440p 165Hz
