Hey,
I need help installing both my harddrives.
My motherboard supports two Sata drives but my power supply has only one Sata connector.
If its possible, what is the best way to connect my two drives??
I want to transfer files from one drive to the other so if there are other ways to do this please reply here.

Thanks.

It plugs into one of your 4-pin Molex cables and comes out as an SATA power cable.
