Has anyone manage to connect a SATA hard disk to the VS2720G model? I notice there are SATA port and SATA pwr port.

Where can I get the power cable for the SATA?

Thanks

    Sometimes they're in a plastic bag in the shipping box.

    Also Amazon shows them. I searched on VS2720G Sata Cables

    If not call Acer Parts Store in your country.

    The SATA cables themselves are very standard and as long as the ones you buy are long enough they should work. The power cables are harder to find, but not that hard… Here are the Acer part numbers for them all.

    Note that the difference between HDD and ODD cables are the connector used, the slimline optical drives use a smaller connector than HDDs and SSDs do. The difference between 9L and 15L is mostly length. Unless you have an ODD you are best off with the 50.VQXD1.005, which should have two connectors for HDDs or SSDs and shown in the image.

    Acer technical support here in my country suck. Not very helpful and is not technical enough. Maybe I was talking to the wrong person.

    Any I manage to source it through our local internat shopping Shopee. Only cost me < RM 12 (< 3USD).

    For future reference, Amazon has it too for $7.99

    Yes, but none of those cables are correct to provide SATA power from a 12VO motherboard…
