I need the power cable that connects to this circled 4 pin connector on my board
I want to add a hard drive. there is a clear sata port as shown in the picture, and the 4 pin connector circled says "HDD PWR" on the board. But I have never seen such a small molex type connector.
I have been searching around and asking in other tech forums and have not found what this part is called.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Going to take a guess based on
1. you have monkd motherboard and your picture shows the two parts very clearly but the cable number is not listed under 24-df0030 anywhere
2. Looking at a lot of HDD sata/power cables I found DD0N91HD001
3. That cable is designed for HP 24-G014 AIO which is "Hawaii-u" motherboard.
Here is a picture (from above url) of the sata/power for the Hawaii-U and it look like your monkd motherboard connectors
Looks identical
I recommend you get a USB3 external drive instead.
If you do get a hard drive make sure it is SDD and has no metal surface that could short out when touching motherboard parts. I suspect your AIO has no place to mount an HDD but I might be mistaken

looks like the picture link didn't post, here is the photo
I need to know the part compatible to the above circled connector labeled "HDD PWR" It appears to be some small form of molex

That looks as though it should work, and $9 isn't much if it doesn't
big thanks for discovering this.
regarding external drive advice. I already have a 2.5" terabyte drive I want to make use of.
My experience with USB external drives is they can have annoying connectivity issues and I'd like to keep the last USB 3.0 slot free.
