Thread: Motherboard in my desktop PC is an Axper XP-M5VM800

Hello Francis. The motherboard in my desktop PC is an Axper XP-M5VM800. I needed a new hard disk and therefore recently purchased a Seagate 500 GB hard drive. But I am not able to install it along with my older hard disk with the existing cabl One of my friends told me that a SAT cable is required in order to connect new hard disk. Do I really need a SATA cable or will some other connecter al be required? Please help me with this, Can I even use my hard drive on my
system or not?

Since PATA hard drives are now obsolete, newer hard drives are only available with SATA connectivity. Since your motherboard is compatible with SATA, you would need SATA data cable and SATA power cable to connect the drive to the motherboar Your motherboard's original box conten included a SATA data cable. If you have lost it, you can get one from a computer store or ask a friend, as all motherboar come with extra SATA data cables.
