Inspiron 3670, SATA power cable, 2.5" HDD
I recently bought a 3670 with the intent of putting in an old 3.5 hard drive from my old computer (with all my pictures etc on the old drive) only to find I can't add a 3.5 so I bought a 2.5 today. The problem is that there is no secondary sata power cord. I have no clue what I need to buy as it's a 6 pin apparently that I'm not familiar with. Does anyone have any answers? Already 2 trips to Fry's and the 2.5 isn't even being recognized and I am flustered as all living. Almost ready to just take the machine back to where I bought it.

I'm going to try that Eathtek cable. I've tried using a sata 4X splitter, but all that did was make the computer go into diagnostics mode and say there was no bootable drive found.

Kudos....Your part number is right. I ordered this to hook up a VisionTek 3.2 USB port card which has the molex connector on one and and a 15 pin Sata on the other, but the 3670 Dell is weak on cabling! They have 4 sata connectors (two used by peripherals) and one 6 pin power supply...so that cable does the trick.
