DELL 9020 SSD upgrade

As the upgrades continue  on the office computer I wanted to touch base.

I stopped in to the local staples and picked up a Samsung EVO 850 (250gb) they had on sale for 70 dollars. Figured it should be a simple upgrade... after I purchased the product I was told that Dell has 5 pin and that SSD needs 4 pin 

 

I attached a couple of photos of the internals. Including the SATA power that i was planning on using for the SSD.

 

As usual thanks in advance for your help

As far as I know those OptiPlexes use standard sata cables, have you tried the SSD?

Should be as simple as plugging it in and installing windows.

Sata is Sata. Just plugin the sata power and data cables and you're good to go.

You may be confusing simple power cable with the data Sata cable 

 

In the first photo, Data Sata cable is the black cable the other one ( 4 wire ) is the power cable
