I wish the SATA design/spec would have allowed power within the SATA data connector too, instead of a separate cable...
Supposed to show how to connect the cables but the presentation is covered by a hardware and the ends of the connecting cables that are the reason for the presentation are hidden. How come?
Life saver dude. I’m building a NAS and I had no idea how to plug in my boot drive. Thanks so much king!
Awesome man!! I’m glad I could help!
@@MMillerPCshey , did just connect SATA to mobo its power saving?
Sarcasm😂
Thank You, you deserve more views and like
Thank you🧡🧡
what did u plugged to the mother board
You plug the other end of the sata data
That's the other end of the SATA data cable which transfers data from the motherboard to the SSD or back.
No time wasted i like it 👍
I hate wasting time! The majority of my content is short, sweet and to the point
I never thought I would watch a video on how to plug in wires.
So you think everyone knows everything?
@@MMillerPCs I'm saying that even though this is nothing new to me, I still watched your entire video
This is what im looking for . Thanks bro
You’re welcome!
Fun fact, if you are working inside a small annoying case like a dell, and you're too lazy to move things out of the way and unsure if the cable needs to be flipped over, you can look in the cable, and the elbow of the L shape inside of the connector goes in the center of the drive.
That is a nice fun fact!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Anytime! I’m here to help.
how about the additional hard drive where to plug the data sata cable? in motherboard?
Most mother boards have multiple sata ports on them
thank you so much!
this is not sufficient in many cases. The new SSD must be configured properly for the computer to be able to use it. That may sometimes be very tricky but Windows has the tools for it.
It says how to plug it up… I never said it was how to set it up in windows
@@MMillerPCs Right but this part is important and rather challenging in some cases as I have learned. I have mounted a few of these
First Data,than Power☝️
If it’s powered off completely it doesn’t really matter
ok i watched a other vid about this and it took about 5 mins to watch. this vid was less than a min
I hope this one helped!
Thank you kindly 🙏
You’re welcome!
We Both have TeamGroup SSD 😮😊
Ayyyy let’s go!
@@MMillerPCs I have a Question. Is Biostar H61MH Mobi have SATA 3.0
@@ProGamersPakthat motherboard has sata2 ports.
Does it matter which sata data port I plug it into on the motherboard?
Not in my. Experience
i’m entirely new to pcs. I bought a new sata ssd and installed it, replacing a previous one. But my monitor says no operating system found when i power it on. Do i need to get windows onto the new ssd, if so how do i do that? There is also only one sata plug in my computer. Please help
Yeah if that is the only port you have you will need to reinstall windows on the new drive. This is a good video on how to do that czcams.com/video/7iC-Qkm186A/video.html
Why I can't plug the sata power to my Hard drive
Name is the cable you plugged to the mother board
Where do I plug in the power cord ?
The SATA cable is what give it power. That’s the bigger cord.
@@MMillerPCs my bad I meant the
5 pronged end of it
@@koqinc1919 I’m not sure which cored you’re talking about.
The bigger connector goes straight into the power supply or is connected to the power supply.
The smaller connector plugs into the mother board.
@@MMillerPCs it’s the one with the latch you plug into the mother board not the small one in the hard drive
@@koqinc1919 I would have to see a picture to see which one you’re talking about.
The plug on my psu on sata didnt match i thnk. I cant connect it
It is possible that sata power is not inside my power supply?
Maybe if it’s really old…
Do you need to plug both in?
@@josephnguyen1543 yes
@@MMillerPCs thank you!
Is it necessary to connect the sata power to the motherboard?
No the sata power is connected to the power supply
Yes, it is necessary if you want the SSD/HDD to receive power and turn on.
As for the SATA data cable connected to the motherboard, it is also required so that your PC can communicate with the SSD.
Here’s 2 things. Let me show you how to plug 1 of them in lol
They are both the same
This part of computers is simple, if it fits, it sits.
Help please, I have 4 ports and my hdd is connected to the lower left one, I connected my new ssd to the top left and lower right ports and my pc wont detect the ssd, can you please guide me? Thanks in advance
You may have to format and set up the partitions inside windows
@@MMillerPCs Thanks for the reply, turns out that my sata power cable was faulty and had loose wires so I will probably need to save up more money to buy a new psu since I don't know how to fix this.
My hardware has a third connecter with 2 prongs on it. It’s next to the smaller one and the hole is shaped like a T anyone know what this is?
If you want to send me a picture of what you are talking about on discord, Instagram or Twitter I would be happy to help
Can I plug this any of the sata ports? Like It's sata 3 but I'll plug it In the Sata 1 which the mother board clearly says that it is the sata 1-4 ports...
hey thank you very much for the tutorial though however what kind of ssd sata cable is this excactly? I have been trying to find this cable but it's a little diffecoult since all the pictures all look the same. what excact type of ssd is this in your vid here?
@@icg65s so there are two types of SSDs one requires no cables but you have to have a motherboard that supports. And the other is a 2.5in Sata ssd it requires a Sata Cable.
I installed my 2nd hdd but won't let me boot
Did you use sata power from the same cord for both of them?
i have a sata power but i don't have a sata data
If you bought your motherboard new it comes with one
@@MMillerPCs i got my from nzxt pre built and i check all the cables theres no sata data cable cuz i have ssd not a hhd
I plugged it but its really lose . Is there anything related to that click think .plz guide me i am screwed 🙏
I’m not really sure… you could always just try a different cord.
Mines supposed to have 4 satas however there is only one plug on the drive
I’m not sure what you mean
So right now I’m using the plug of sata to usb and I have the ssd running fine that way, I wanted to plug it directly into the motherboard like the way you showed, I ordered a data cable from amazon and hooked the sata cable of the psu to it, it ran verrryyyy slowwww and windows was unusable, I tried to change the sata port and the sata cable used two times and its the same.. what can I do? There is still like 2 sata cables of the psu that I haven’t tried but booting it up takes so long that I gave up trying the rest of the sata cables.
That is very strange..
I have a small ssd and my sata cables won’t work what do I do
What kind of “small ssd” is it
There are 2 that say “P8” and “P5”
Not booting up for me. Nothing loose. Works fine when I remove hard drive. Won’t boot at all when I plug it up
So the Pc won’t even turn on when you have the hard drive connected?
@@MMillerPCs yea. Won’t even give me a black screen or anything. Has power for like 0.2 seconds then nothing. No error codes on motherboard or anything. When I unplug it and boot my pc up, works instantly😭😭
I don’t have a SATA power cable so what do I do?
It should be attached to your power supply
@@MMillerPCsI’ve checked and it’s not there
I have a 15 prong sata power cord and a 15 prong sata drive and it won’t go in
I’d have to see a picture I’m not sure exactly what you’re talking about
My psu sata power has 12pins only and my hdd have 15pins is that the reason why my pc wont open?
Probably.. Is it an older system?
so i cant connect to any port in motherboard
Yes you can.
Just got a MSI rig off new egg, it came with a SATA cable, but for the life of me I cannot figure out where to stick it. The 2 TB SSD doesn't look like what you have at all. Its a tiny stick now days O.o
I looked all over it, well the parts I could see, which are the sides, and it doesn't look like you can plug the SATA into it from either end. I cannot see the top or bottom as the GPU and CPU are on either side. It kinda looks like it is just plugged into the motherboard directly from the back plate I guess?
You probably have an NVMe. There is a video on “how to build a Pc” on my channel just fast foward to the SSD install and see if that is what you are talking about
@@MMillerPCs Thanks for the response, I just decided to plug it in see if it runs. It starts up and works. Guess they just sent an extra cable for funzies or something lol
@@xievisthedragon yeah probably if you ever wanted to add one
can i change my sata power cable because it has damage and i think that's the reason why my pc not turning on stuck in reboot and select proper boot device
More than likely your data power is connected to your power supply… so there might be a Sata cable you’re not using… or you might have to change out the entire power supply
This also works with gaming condo but u need a sata to usb cable
Question...if i have two hdd/ssd's, the one withh windows on it should be in slot "0", right?
yes that is typically what people do. You can set the boot order if needed though.
what if the sata power doesnt go in
What do you mean? You need to make sure you have it turned the correct way.
I've bought ssd my pc has multiple sata data ports but only one power cable which is connected to my hdd how'd I connect my ssd
The sata power cord should have multiple power connectors on the one cord
@@MMillerPCsHi, can I buy more both cables? In my case, I only see 2 sata power cable and 1 sata data cable. I'd like to have 2 SSDs
What about that extra cable just there
Not sure which cable you are talking about
can i find a power sata cable outside of the PSU or do i have to unscrew it and find it in there? (acer nitro 50 pc)
It’s not actually inside your PSU. It does have to come from your PSU though.
does it matter which sata port on the motherboard i plug in my main sata ssd(with windows install)
No not typically
What about the other wire?
What do you mean? There are only two?
@@MMillerPCs he probably means the sata power cable
@@vurunaa that’s what I was thinking… but I didn’t want to assume
i have like 4 sata connecter in a single wire, does it matter if i use any of those to connect or do I have to use it serial wise? sorry it's a stupid question because I'm a cautious person
It shouldn’t matter which one you use
Hey man, i want to use my old Hdd from another cpu as Extra drive in new cpu , But in my new cpu doesnt have extra sata power port , only one, so how ? 😭😭 Does this mean i need to change the power supply ?
Is there a spot on your motherboard to plug it up?
@@MMillerPCs it has sata port , but Not the other cable connector port , the one that directly link to power supply, , Currently only got one that connect directly to My new ssd , so how ? sorry for broken English + Tech talk😂
Where is sata power in the Computer case
Sata power comes from the power supply
Where’s your power connection going to?
Sata power is typically from the power supply
@@MMillerPCs Thanks 🙏 I was wondering if it can go through the motherboard if it has power ports on it.
@@The_Joker_ there are some older motherboards that have like a port you can a special cord for but all newer stuff it comes from the power supply inside the case
@@MMillerPCs Cool, thanks 🙏
Can I plug in more then one ssd at the same time? One for softwares one for assets library and one for projects files?
as long as your PC has the slots for the drives you can plug up as many your motherboard allows.
@@MMillerPCs no way 😳 I think i have 5 slots that's great to hear do you know if it is more efficient to do so or should I install my softwares directly onto my hard drive?
@@Vertexvoyager it doesn’t really matter
@@MMillerPCs man thank you so much God bless you
you rock man thanks a lot @@MMillerPCs
Why do none of these videos show connecting to the power supply
Do you have a modular powered supply?
thats bc most pcs have an extra 4 pin outlet usually in the middle where you connect power sata
So I have a hard drive that’s a Optane Intel + 932GBHDD
And I’m running out of space and want to purchase an SSD for 1TB to act as a second storage device!
Do I need another sata cable connected to the new SSD as well as one for the power supply? I’m asking since I’m unsure if I even have enough plugs for it!
My computer feels rather old and I could use some help honestly! (Also my noob confusion 😂)
So you can use the same cord that is coming out of your power supply. But you will need an additional “data” cable to plug into the motherboard
@@MMillerPCs Thank you so much for the quick response!
What's with the blue sata connected on your mother board?
Blue is thefastest
It’s basically the main one that you should use first when plugging in your drives
@@MMillerPCsMy mobo says Sata3 and Sata 4 and they all black. Can I just plugin the data cable using either of those?
@@pauloazuela8488 yes it shouldn’t matter which one you use
@@MMillerPCs Thank you it's my first time and I had alot of mistakes like buying the wrong case size. So my system is barely able to breathe good thing it's all non power hungry components inside and my mobo don't allow cpu overclocking
Is all motherboard have the power cable for sata ssd?
The power cable comes from the power supply in most scenarios
you didn't show the power cable
I feel old.
Where is it connected
Which part? It connects to the power supply and the motherboard
@@MMillerPCs to late, my PC is broken cuz I tried to case swap and it broke and now I'm buying a new pc
And btw, when I case swapped I had NO IDEA on what I was doing with the cables, LOL. Hp prodesk 600 Sff g1 I think, into a Thermal take H18. The cpu cooling was loose and melted the cpu and just, my luck it bad and seems like you have experience so maybe, can you make a video and Maybe buy the EXACT computer I had? And try to case swap into a Thermal take H18???
l love u
🧡🧡
is it p3, 4, 5, or 6?
Could you tell me more because I saw that I have a p5 on my power supply and I’m using the sata cable that comes with the PSU but the part that connects to the ssd doesn’t fit
Where do i get that cable??
The power cable comes from the power supply and the data cable will come with your motherboard
@@MMillerPCs yeah i realized it when my parts came from mail
@@Rodmizinq awesome!
Would the work for the ps4 hard drive?
I doubt it… but I’m not sure I’ve never took a PS4 apart.
not working
Once you plug it up you have go in and set it up
Eternal
??
Gdzie drugi kabel
?
Can it plug up with hdd ps4 hard drive?
Is it an external drive?
@@MMillerPCs yep
@@skychildrensoflight1567 then you wouldn’t want to use that port I dont think
Is it okay to use that 12v sata? Because ssd's are 5v only right? Im thinking maybe it will overheat
That’s the only sata power that will work on those.
What about nvme ssd do i need to connect 😂
Well buy a motherboard that supports it then it’s easy lol
FORMAT IT FIRST !!!!!!!
How you suppose to format it before you plug it up 🤔
plug in not plug up
