Product: HP Z220 Small Form Factor Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to add an HDD to the SSD that I have in this workstation, but have to admit I'm flummoxed.  The manuals all show one single SATA power connection.  

 

Where would I plug the power in for the HDD?  It's an Hitachi HDS 721010 SATA with 1TB memory.

 

I'm sure that I'll feel pretty stupid once I get the answer, but hey....I've had lots of practice and can handle it.

@unipenguin,

I will not be harsh.  If you can not trace back to a Sata power lead, then get a splitter.

You will also need a SATA data cable.

So now I really do feel like a moron; I thought I'd seen in earlier forum posts that each drive had to have its own power line.  

 

THANK YOU!

@unipenguin,

Glad to assist you with an explanation of  power vs data cabling .

Shared power leads but separate data leads required.
