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

This will work with either SATA or PATA drives, connectors are included for both. I hooked up an old 250 GB. PATA drive as new motherboard had no connectors for it.

It is a standard SATA connector. I added an SSD to mine first thing. Warning: This will void the warranty.

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

The cable you see in the picture. Your power supply (inside the computer) should have some extra plugs.

My unit came with a power adapter and works fine with both IDE and SATA devices. I am very pleased with it's performance. Some people leave them connected permanently but I do not do this.

Hey Jim be sure to pick up a couple 4 pin molex to sata adapters. You will need them to make extra sata conecters.

The one I received does not come with the cables that were in the description, and certainly not with all the cables I needed. I had to go to EBay (Seasonic and their 'authorised distributors' were useless) to locate additional cables.The one I got included:1 24-pin ATX system board connection1 8-pin or 4-pin CPU connector4 PCIe 8-pin or 6-pin connectors5 peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors10 SATA connectors1 floppy power adapter (which consumes one of the peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors)

Power is provided internally via sata connection or you need an external enclosure if not installing internal drive.

A motherboard, the back plate, two SATA 3.0 cables, and the manuals. The power input is 24 pin. A 500 watt power supply would serve just fine.

Sorry I don't exactly remember for sure, but USB cables are usually included with the outside unit you would be connecting. Inside I used sata cables which sata 2 or sata 3 cables are interchangable

my computer only had sata power connections I had to buy a splitter to fit the 4 prong eide type power plug it needed. I hope this helps

Hi, you just need a 4-pin molex plug from your PSU. If you're unsure of this plug, simply Google it and check some images to see what it looks like. It's the most common power adapter on PSUs, though SATA power connectors are becoming the norm. Still, just about every PSU has molex plugs.

When you buy the sata cabel get the power connector with it! so you can power up the sata drive! to use with the converter!

Hi Ken, mine came with a black braided power connector. 1) Match-up the white end of the cable to the white slot at the end of the unit; 2) Connect the 4-pin molex end of the same braided cable to a molex connector from your PSU [power supply]; 3) Now connect the braided USB 2.0 cable to the device and your motherboard. Power up your system and you're good to go...you can also daisy chain them...I'd be lost without the 2 I have.Hope this helped.~Programming Kat

Two of the power cables have SATA connectors. Others are 4 pin Molex which can be used for SATA with an appropriate adapter that costs about $3.00.
