Hi @DemCrispy 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

I preface my response by stating I am not familiar with your HP PC.

 

SATA power cables are usually based on industry specs. The SATA power connector is keyed to only fit in one direction.

 

So, I don't know what is happening with your PC's SATA power connector.

 

Any SATA data port on your PC's MB should should provide SATA 3.0 to the SATA drive.

 

Regards
