So, there's a SATA 0 and SATA PWR option on the motherboard, but i don't know which cable would be right to connect a sdd or hdd SATA drive to the pc. It seems others have this issue too, has anyone figure out which is the right cable to connect a drive to the pc.

this motherboard uses a 4 pin power cable for the optional second hard drive option
HP has used this sata 4 pin power setup on several different motherboards/systems so there exist several different cable lengths of this cable with either 2 or more sata drive connectors pick one with the cable lenght that matches your needs
the SATA data cable is a normal sata cable, again pick one that matches your needs
