Add 3.5” HDD into PowerSpec G163.

Jaesjakcson

I bought a PowerSpec G163 but found that the 500GB wouldn’t be quite enough, so I bought an HDD, but I can’t find the SATA ports on the motherboard, and don’t know how to plug the psu into it, can anyone help me?

Your G163 should have the ASRock B450M/ac. The SATA ports are on the right side of the board, facing towards the front of the case. 


You can see them in the photo here, right next to the silver heastink with ASRock on it on the bottom-right. 

As for plugging them into your PSU, your PSU would normally come with a SATA power cable. It's usually a wide, flat cable with multiple L-shaped SATA power connections on it. You may need to open up the the back side-panel of your case to get to the other cables, they're most likely bundled up underneath the PSU shroud out of sight.
