Is there a way for me to get a 8 pin connector with my Pavilion 690-0010?

I meant big. It is too big bc the ports can’t connect onto the sata ports and it is way skinnier and twice as long

Or can you send me a vid  on how to properly do it

@Sxelent1 -- the ports can’t connect onto the sata ports and it is way skinnier and twice as long 

Each SATA device (HDD or SDD or optical drive) requires two connections:

* data (skinny cable between the SATA device and the motherboard,

* power (such as those connectors on that "splitter") that connect the SATA device to the power-supply.

So, if your power-supply has two separate "power" wires, connect one wire to that power-splitter, and connect both of your SATA devices on the splitter to the "power" connector on each SATA device.

Then, take the other "power" wire, and connect to that other adapter cable, and connect that adapter to the power-input on your graphics adapter card.

Power-supply ---> wire #1 ---> power-splitter ---> SATA device #1

                                              ---> SATA device #2

Power-supply ---> wire #2 ---> adapter --> video card

Motherboard ---> SATA port #1 --> SATA cable ---> SATA device #1

Motherboard ---> SATA port #2 --> SATA cable ---> SATA device #2
