Check that you don't have a spare in the metal box behind the PSU.
If not, split and extend the one currently going to your 3.5" HDD.

Just keep in mind that you cannot (should not) mix cables from different PSUs, especially Dell OEM to Corsair.
I was talking about a SATA power cable splitter for an existing cable on your PSU. It connects to your existing OEM dell cable and splits one SATA into two SATA power connectors (or more). That's fine, no issues. It's standard and only a couple bucks. But plugging a Corsair cable into the back of an OEM Dell PSU, that's not a good idea.
