My new internal HDD uses a weird cable I don't have (picture)

Juusuhako

Hey all,

I bought an internal HDD for some extra storage. Found a good deal on a demo unit (HGST UltraStar 7K2000). But it seems the cable I need to power this thing is something I don't have nor seen before. I took a picture of what it looks like.

 

Can anyone clarify what cable exactly is needed? 

It seems to be 1 long cable, as opposed to typically using 2 (1 to motherboard and 1 to powersupply).

 

edit: a friend said it could be something called an "SAS U.2" cable, but those things seem to cost more than the HDD itself.

The picture on that wiki page doesn't seem to match though. It has two equally long "sections" while the HDD has one longer than the other?

 

edit: nvm, scrolled down. Seems like "SFF-8482" is what fits it.
