Invert SATA power connector

Blazelow

It's possible that I can disconnect the power connector and flipped it, because was you can see, I can't connect the cable to the HDD. My PSU it's a Corsair CV650

No.

 

Why not just flip the hard drive around the other way?

Does rotating it 180 degrees give you room for the cables?

 

If not, try to find another mounting location, otherwise you can use something like this or this. Make sure you get a left angle version if you look for your own.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because I can't mount the HDD that way

I try that, and you are correct, I doesn't have room for the cables. I try the other mounting position, the cable it's faced the right away, but doesn't have room.

Are you sure the HDD can't be mounted the other way?

If it's on a sled, try inserting the whole sled the other way?

The HDD is mounted on the bottom of the PSU compartment. If I mounted on the top, it's facing the right position indeed, but the cable doesn't have room to connect to the HDD, that's my problem.

Pretty much all SATA power cables are as yours is, so if the case doesn't have mounting points that can accept this it's a stupid design...

 

You can find some straight ones but they're pretty rare and usually only on molex-SATA adapters.
