I just purchased this HDD of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T3PBV57/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

However it did not come with the power extension cable mentioned in the product description. I have purchased this drive before and it would not work without that cable, so it is necessary for me to get one for the HDD to work. My question is what would I search for the get the correct part? Would any sata-to-sata power extension work or would it need to have some special spec? I've read a 4-pin Molex to SATA connector might be the solution, but I would like to confirm before purchasing because I am dumb!! Something like this for example:https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-3-Pack-Molex-Power/dp/B00STNUB04/ref=sr_1_2?crid=B3ZGL1OM3IR1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f9jru-Gy4n_1s6sxvx6tecrDs0kKyQc_KXFNnctPSyGpgk3wiTyXQRVjv8latROCZFMth35JZj6AzNa09K_WespKmumHEQjA1Qn9tuzw8MBtUCX9qyoxPfAfS1R9c3JLDgIR1NHveuutkNGIKTrnouyP5DBd2e2yp3U9bkzTz5b_jPWn4NWf9pusLWEVS3OvqcRsb74HYfa7bE5vtR5EWmod_f3B-fJJnotQO7qTLbE.4mkQvoblx472TPQkw3pPm3UzP8ULyibyZTNH-zpyBg4&dib_tag=se&keywords=Sata-to-sata+power+adapter+cable&qid=1718302912&sprefix=sata-to-sata+power+adapter+cable+%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-2

Or if there are any other solutions that would be helpful too.

Sorry for noob question and thank you in advanced for any help!
