Adding old HD

[Mulligan]

I'll be receiving my new PCS rig tomorrow (see specs in sig). It will have plenty of spare HD bays, so I'm thinking of adding an old HD. Does anyone know if there will be spare wires included in the build I can plug directly into or do I need to purchase additional wires? I believe they will be SATA.

Never added a HD before, but hoping it's straight forward!

Thanks for any tips.

You will just need to connect the power and SATA cables, any spare sata cables that came with the motherboard will be in your welcome pack (I had a couple when I got mine recently), if your power supply is modular you may need to connect the spare power cables (though I didn't have to, the power cable going to the HDD had extra connectors on it so I could just use that), if its not a modular power supply there will be spare connectors already connected.

In other words all the cables you need should be there.

Thanks Rakk, exactly what I needed to know
