How to setup HDD?
I have a 160GB HDD, which should be sufficient for your existing 500GB drive. I’m checking if the right cables are available to fit everything inside. You mentioned a cable with MB on one side and a serial ATA on the other, plus two SATA 6GB/s cables. You’re using an EVGA 600W W1 power supply, which I understand isn’t ideal, but you’re hoping it will work. Your main concern is whether the second cable will connect properly.
Two cables are typically used—power and data. They are often shaped like an L, with one short and one long section. You should locate the matching ones: one coming from the power supply unit and another from a motherboard port.
You're finding it tough to grasp the issue. As long as you have SATA power available and a SATA cable linking the drive to your motherboard, everything should work. Unless you're attempting something like a 3090, a 600-watt supply shouldn't be an obstacle for adding another drive.
You're almost correct, but it's a bit unclear which option you're comparing. Could you clarify what you're choosing between?
