SATA 2.5' SSD cables for Pro Slim Desktop

Question

I need to add to my Pro Slim Desktop (QCS1250) a SATA 2.5" SSD as my second drive but the PC did not come with SATA cable nor Power cable. Motherboard has both connectors (power & SATA).

Anyone knows what I need to order? is there a kit for this.

@redxps630​  thanks for all of the info. When I bought my new QCS1250 PC last week, the sale advisor (via chat) told me that it supported SATA so I thought it came with cable & all for my 2nd drive but was surprised it didn't. With your info I was able to find a Kit for my PC on Dell's website: Dell HDD Rotation Bay with cable & screw Manufacturer part 4RYJ4 | Dell part 575-BCSY

did you order an optical drive or 3.5 hdd?

NOTE:The drive bay is only available in computers shipped with a hard drive or an optical drive.

if you did, use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter to install a 2.5 ssd in the 3.5 bay.

you need a proprietary sata power cable from dell motherboard.

this user did not order odd or 3.5 in pc so there is no drive bay inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJbHYPMJHao if you are like this user, you need to first order the missing drive bay.

drive bay DP/N G0WKG for Slim and Tower Pro. Note the tower and slim have identical chassis depth of 293 mm so they share same drive bay.

the sata power cable are however different (Dell did this before too with Optiplex MT and SFF).

sata power cable for Slim Pro DP/N YJW72.

sata power cable for tower Pro DP/N 5GBWK.
