I have an acer tc 1660 (i5 11400f, gtx 1650, 512 ssd) and I'm trying to add a samsung 850 evo that I already have (2.5 ssd). I understand that I need a normal sata cable for data, but what cable do I need to connect it to power? Is there an adapter for the original pc power supply? I read that this pc has a non standard power supply and I don't want to fry my ssd. Sorry for my terrible pc knowledge, every little help will be appreciated!!! Thank you in advance

    The SATA power cable is Acer part number: 50.VQED3.001. There are two connectors on the motherboard (#6 in the diagram) that can each drive two SATA devices. If your system came with an ODD installed you might already have the second connector.

    Hi billsey,

    I am having a hard time connecting my Seagate Ironwolf Pro to this motherboard. I can't find the power cable. Any suggestions on how to solve the issue? Can I use ATX12V 4pin maybe? CAnt find the cable for data power connector (No6) to Sata Power Receptacle

    #6 in the above motherboard picture is the power connectors for the SATA drives. Each of those connectors can power two drives. Search on the part number to find extra cables if you need the second one installed.
