I'm looking for the right power cable to go with the Sata III WD 1T hard drive. Can you tell me the correct one to purchase.?

Previous helpers don't understand the question, SATA 3 6GB/S is a data cable.... You don't need to buy any special power cable, recent power supply, come with these connectors. Wouldn't be healthy for your new HDD, if you are planning to use an old or low quality power supply

"any" standard SATA power cable will work.Consider if you want an angled connector or not, and what the other end should look like. Since you are asking the question, I assume you have power supply w/o any SATA power connectors but only "Molex" connectors. If so, one like this will fit the bill (can also finder longer, or even split with several SATA connectors if you have multiple drives); StarTech 6in 4 Pin Molex to SATA Power Cable Adapter (SATAPOWADAP)

It takes a standard SATA power cable. Your power supply probably already has these (they look like little black connectors with a slit in them). If it doesn't, and you only see white connectors with holes in them (MOLEX connectors) you can purchase an adapter for it.

SATA 3 6Gb cable like franklin said. With that said, make sure your computer has data connectors. Older computers have PATA (IDE) connectors. If u have PATA THERE ARE PATA TO SATA adapters but you will only get the PATA speed.

I lost my "mini to composite A/V splitter cable", does anyone know where I can buy one which works with the WD?Thanks!

Good morning. Yes the power supply you have mentioned will work just fine. Anything over 650w will work. You might want to consider a higher wattage if you are using more than two hard drives in the case.

Do i neet to put 3 plugs?(SATA CABLE, LIKE 3.5"FDD POWER CABLE, IDE DRIVE POWER CABLE)

Standard SATA connectors, will work with any SATA port. May not be the cheapest drive you can buy for what you're describing, but that's your call.

You need an "internal" SATA cable. A 12-18 inch cable will do. Look at the route the cable must take, and order one with either straight connectors or L-shaped connectors (one or both ends) as needed.

Sorry. I no longer have that item. The power supply DID work for my Seagate drive, but I can't be sure about the exact part number (?)

The power cable should already be on the power supply in the computer case. The drive comes with one SATA cable (I don't remember the exact length, but I recall it was about a foot long). I also bought a box with 10 or 12 spare SATA cables here on Amazon just in case.

I will answer with a question of my own- what do you mean by "work" ? It will work in the sense that if you plug it in, the new 1TB will spin up and you can use it as you normally would. BUT, it will NOT work at the SATA III data rate that the WD supports (6Gb/s). The reason is, the motherboard (MOBO) in the Dell does not support SATA III, only SATA II. So instead, the WD will spin at the SATA II data rate, which is 3Gb/s. As for cable- the WD does not come with a cable so you will need a new one if you do not plan on reusing the one from the Seagate. However, if you reused the Seagate cable, you should be just fine since I would expect the existing cable is already rated to run at SATA II speeds. But if in the future you got a new MOBO or computer then you would need a new cable that is rated for SATA III data rates.

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

A regular SATA cable. Available here on Amazon for something like a dollar! :-)

Not exactly sure about your question. EVERY drive will need both a power cable and a data cable.

I just found a 1 TB SATA drive at tiger direct for $69 and a rebate for $10 (making it $59) and it works perfectly. Whatever you get, make sure it's a SATA drive. These systems do not use IDE drives, and they are never easy to return if you buy the wrong one.

That is a SATA hard drive, so any SATA cable will work.I am not sure this is a SATA 6Gbps cable, so the link speed may be slower. However, even SATA 3Gbps is faster than you will see with that drive.

I'm applied this.SilverStone CP05 Convenient Hot-Swap SATA II Cable Supports Model: KL01 and kL03 Case SeriesThank you.

it comes only with a red sata cable not power. Their should be one in your computer case.

You will likely need a standard to sata power adapter because this PS has both data connectors on one cable. I could not get the second data connector to reach the CD drive mounted perpendicular to the HD.
