Hi everyone. I have been selfhosting with my Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF for a while now, with the 1 TB SATA SSD that it came with, and an external 20 TB WD Elements HDD. I just bought a Seagate Exos X24 24 TB HDD (I have yet to test it, how should I proceed with this on Debian, by the way?).
I opened up the Dell Optiplex and saw the SSD connected with the SATA power cable and SATA data cable, both of which are connected to the motherboard. The SATA power cable also has another connector attached to it marked "ICT" and "slimline SATA" which I am unfamiliar with.
There is another SATA data cable connected to the motherboard, not connected to anything else, that I can use with this new hard drive. However, I'm unsure of how I should connect the SATA power cable to the new hard drive. Would I need a SATA power splitter cable? Could this be any generic cable I find on Amazon, or would I need to find a specific one? I also noticed another 4 pin port on the X24 hard drive, to the right of the SATA power and SATA data ports. Is there anything I need to connect to that, or can that be left with nothing in it?
