tomm1245 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi guys, hoping someone can help me please. Earlier I ordered the 120GB SSD Corsair Force Series F120 Solid State Drive in the UK. This is part of my new system build. It is my first PC build and I'm wondering if the drive will come with SATA power cables. The mobo comes with SATA data cables so I know I'm covered from that angle. I have a spare power lead but it's quite short and I'm not entirely confident that it will be long enough to reach my drive. I've ordered a 700W Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold PSU so maybe that will come with enough SATA power cables connected? If anyone can advise me that would be great. The system will arrive in a couple of days and I want to make sure that I have all the cables so that I can connect it all up! Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU if new enough will come with power cables for SATA, how long i do not know because it is different with each brand but I am sure that they are enough long if you have a standard ATX case.

antipop2323 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nah, I just bought one of these, definitely doesn't come with a sata cable... if you bought a model with BRKT at the end of it though it will come with a bracket and screws for converting from a 2.5" to 3.5" drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Quick Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If we where to live back in 2005 i'd wager that this question would be asked, but today with todays hardware, naah.. I'm sure the PSU you bought will have many SATA power cables and that they are long enough for you! SATA is a standard today and is used much more than the old molex type nowdays. In other words, there is no need to worry about that! You already got it covered by getting a new psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 1, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 1, 2011 M.Quick is correct as Sata cables were provided due to older PSU did not provide SATA but only Molex. Today all PSU come with SATA standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
