What cables do I need to power this unit, or attach it to my power unit, and to connect this to my motherboard via SATA?

It has a standard IDE & Molex connector...if your power supply only has SATA you can buy the converters for about $5...I found them on newegg.com - if your motherboard doesn't have an IDE port, I'm sure you could find an IDE to SATA converter too.

This is a ide(pata) hard drive not a sata.This hd uses a ribbon cable for data.The power and data cables are totally different and not compatible.You must buy a sata hard drive.

You need both power cable and SATA Cable. This kit will solve all your problems. "Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter With Power Supply & LED Activity Lights (EC-AHDD)" or this link: Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection

It comes with several sata power connectors. 6 pcie 6+2 pin wires. A 24pin and an 8 pin power wire. Also a few other misc. wires. The downside is that you have to use rosewill's wires due to the odd way they connect to the psu.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can use the existing cable if it is standard SATA. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

No worries just ensure that you motherboard has the correct port PCI-e x1 (desktops only, diagram here: http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/images/ct-images/2013/04/mb.jpg), then you simply slot the card into the port, it comes with a couple of SATA data connection cables so you only need to make sure your PSU has sata power connectors available depending on the number of drives you wish to connect (they look like this: http://sharpsblogorama.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sata-hard-drive-power-cable-connector.jpg) . Hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any further queries or are stuck.

the unit has a sata connection, but i used an adapter, from ide to sata, which used a molix, and powered the unit.

You need a standard SATA cable, not E-SATA cable up to level 3.0. you only need to order one that's long enough for your installation.

Your motherboard should have come with SATA cables to connect the SSD to it. You should not need anything else.

No the power cable is attached to your power supply the data cable should come with your motherboard or will need to be purchased seperately

You will need Qty 2 USB ports, an audio port, a 1394 com port,( if you need it), A four pin connector from your power supply. Also, you can plug the esata connector into a sata port if you do not have esata port. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I can tell you that my motherboard has all the correct connections for this device. You need two(2) male SATA connections, one(1) male eight(8) pin USB connection, one(1) PCI-E 1x slot, and one(1) female four(4) pin molex connection.

this will connect to your mother board then you need to use or buy a SATA cable long enough to go from your MB to the drive then check you power supply for a small 4 wire plug then plug it in to the adapter power connection then you need to use a adapter for your drive power supply buy one if you don't already have that changes old power to new style . item 1 IDE to SATA, item two 1 SATA wire 10in + , item 3 power conversion wire from old style to new SATA power wire 10in+

no sir, it doesn't come with the cables. You'll need separate SATA and SATA power cables for connection.

You'll need to buy an adaptor -- without being powered the USB 2 ports don't work (at least for me). The adaptor is a couple of bucks... the good news is that the molex power connector on the device has both a male and female connector; you'll probably need a female SATA to molex power connector (these are relatively rare). It's too bad that the power connector on this device did not include a sata connector.

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

Hi Jeffrey, This is a SATA divice with standard connectors, both Data and Power. If you have an older computer, i.e. IDE PATA, then it will NOT connect! If you are talking about mounting, then you will have to buy an adapter tray to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

This power supply has SATA power connectors. It does not come with SATA data cables used to connect your hard drive to your motherboard.

Karen; there are two SATA connectors on the board, one is for SATA to IDE drive, the other is for SATA drive to IDE, and yes there needs to be a power connection.
