    Sata cables...

    So I'm nearly done with my build but when I went to plug in my optical drive, hdd and ssd I realised I only have 2 sata cables. I googled whether I need a sata cable for the optical drive but couldn't find a simple answer.

    Will I need to use a sata cable for the optical drive?

    Assuming you're talking about SATA-DATA cables like this, then it's most likely that you'll need another - As I doubt there's IDE available on your motherboard or that you have an adapter.



    If you're talking about SATA Power Cables then you can get adapters for molex.
