As long as your SATA HDD has a molex connector cool. If it doesn't you can buy a molex to SATA adapter from your local PC store

you should have a power and data cable that came with the hard drive, if not then go get the right cables the sata power cable is a flat end connector that fits into the drive, the other end fits on to a power cable from the power pack

SATA drives use the same power as ATA drives, they just decided to make a new connector for it for some reason.
All you have to do is go to your local electronics shop and they will have adapters for you.

So you need a COOLMAX SATA POWER ADAPTER Cable - $2.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812104652
If you do not have the SATA cables for your motherboard, then you would need a SATA controller board.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
