Bought a SATA SSD but can't find a power cable?

[Berry13]

Anyone know if this model comes with a SATA Power cable for a SATASSD or if I have to buy one?

Bought a CRUCIAL MX500 2TB SATA SSD

Hi:

If the PC did not come with a SATA or optical drive, and only a M.2 SSD, then most likely you need to buy the power cable.

HP PartSurfer

According to the parts list for the product number you posted, you need to order this SATA power cable:

L68308-001

Cable - Pwr(2*2) to SATA(15p)ST,200+80mm,BL,Ro2

You can order the part from HP at the link below for $59.41, but if you do a search by the part number on eBay, you can get it for much less.

HP Parts Store - HP Computer Parts - HP Printer Parts - Compaq Parts

L68308-001 for sale | eBay

The 4 pin power cable plugs into the motherboard.

You should already have cable L68308-001 which is an item in this parts list.

here is a picture

If both connectors are used then you need a splitter to add the SSD

[edit] @Paul_Tikkanen  you beat me to it.
