Hey guys!

I just bought a new HDD but somehow it has different connections than my old ones.

Can you tell me which cables do I need (with link/pictures please)?

 

 

Thanks!

that looks like you've accidentially bought a SAS drive (no gap between the power and sata header), which drive did you buy?

You've got a SAS drive, not a SATA drive. You'll need to return it and get a normal SATA drive to use.
