Important

Many SATA devices also need a power cable from the power supply. Such devices

include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and optical drives (CD / DVD /

Blu-Ray). Please refer to the device’s manual for further information.
Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs,

and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came

with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result

during transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is

recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space

saving purposes.
