My (Refurb) SATA didn't come with a Power Adapter Cable

[Flanker]

The title says it all. Its a Maxtor DiamondMax 7200 RPM 160GB SATA HDD that I ordered off of tigerdirect.com and it didn't come with a Power Adapter Cable. Nothing like that came with my Motherboard either, so I'm confuzed. Is there anything I can do to order one online either from Tiger or the Makers?

there you go its 3 bucks with free shipping off of pricewatch.com all you do is plug it into one of the power plugs from you psu and then into your drive

Thats a little retarded your MoBo wouldn't come w/ one, some HD's dont carry IDE cables so you have to make sure.

It is not that uncommon for the mb not to come with the power cable. That is usually part of the psu not the mb. I just built 4 pc 's with intel boards, all sata and i had to get the power cables seperate since they were not on the psu. Now if it did not come with the cable that goes from the board to the drive that is a little strange. if you also need that here is a pretty cheap one from the same site so you could get them together.

Otherwise you could check pricewatch.com if you want to get a little better quality cable, not sure if it would really make a difference though
