So I was planning on buying the samsung 850 evo and was wondering which power cable I need for it or if I can use the one from my current hdd.

 

Thanks,

If it's a newer HDD that uses SATA power connectors and not molex connectors, yes.

You need SATA DATA and Sata power (Sata power comes with PSU)

A SATA connector has 2 parts.

 

One part is the data part (the smaller part, left on the image)

The other part, the larger part is the sata power, if it fits on that its the right thing

Armed with Google, I can take on the world*
