Hi there,
I recently purchased an Erazer Engineer X30 and would like to install a 3.5" HDD (Toshiba HDWE140). I've already located the HDD bay, but am struggling to connect the right cables.
Can anyone please confirm which cable and ports I need to use? If I'm correct I need:
• SATA data cable. Here I'm not sure which cable to use. Should I use the middle L-port of my HDD for this or the right one with the two pins? Is the SATA data cable either one in the photo below? Or do I need a different one which is not included?
If it's another SATA data cable, where should I connect it to my PC?
Sorry for my ignorance, help would be appreciated!

You first should state your MSN number. it can be located on a sticker underneath the case, or on the back. It also should stand on the box, or on a guarantee card.
Your picture I can not see yet; it will be only be seen tomorrow after authorization.
I guess your mainboard is most probably a GIGABYTE™ B760M GAMING X AX 1.2, depending on the MSN number.
On the picture below you can see right below near the right corner two SATA slots marked SATA3, 4 and 5, with a L-formed internal shape or partition.

Umgekehrt ginge es besser. Erkennst Du im abgebildetem Mainboard gleiche Strukturen bei deinem Board? In deinen Bildausschnitten lässt sich schwer erkennen, ob es gleich ist.
Sieht dein Rechner und die Ausstattung auf der PDF gleich deinem Rechner aus? Entscheidend ist das Gehäuse und die Angaben zum Mainboard.

Ob nun 16 GB RAM angegeben sind oder 32 GB, oder eine etwas kleinere oder größere Platte spielt keine Rolle.
Kann im Moment nicht auf die kleine Datenbank zugreifen.
In English translation:
Things would be better the other way around. Do you recognize the same structures on your board in the mainboard shown? It's hard to tell from your cropped images whether it's the same.
Does your computer and the equipment on the PDF look the same as your computer? The decisive factors are the housing and the information about the mainboard.

It doesn't matter whether 16 GB of RAM is specified or 32 GB, or a slightly smaller or larger drive.
I can not access the small database at the moment, to check exactly.

You have to buy a separate SATA cable, connect it to the contact strip next to the power connexion. For the mainboard side the SATA plug looks alike, look on the google search result. Such things you can google by yourselfself., to find a suitable trading shop.
Here is a ready cable --> https://www.ebay.de/itm/134897847229?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SI...

Hi @daddle. Thanks for the quick response and clarification. Could you please specify where exactly I can find the SATA port on the morherboard? I couldn't locate it myself. Some photos of my pc below as referenc
I've ordered a SATA cable, now I need to know where to connect it to my PC. I did try to google it, but nowhere to be found for this specific PC model. Thanks again!
