Fun fact, if you are working inside a small annoying case like a dell, and you're too lazy to move things out of the way and unsure if the cable needs to be flipped over, you can look in the cable, and the elbow of the L shape inside of the connector goes in the center of the drive.

Just got a MSI rig off new egg, it came with a SATA cable, but for the life of me I cannot figure out where to stick it. The 2 TB SSD doesn't look like what you have at all. Its a tiny stick now days O.o I looked all over it, well the parts I could see, which are the sides, and it doesn't look like you can plug the SATA into it from either end. I cannot see the top or bottom as the GPU and CPU are on either side. It kinda looks like it is just plugged into the motherboard directly from the back plate I guess?
