Trouble installing SDD with HDD on Inspiron 3847 tower PC

Hi - I want to install a SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 120GB) as my primary drive and use the HDD as secondary.

After I screwed in the SDD, I see that the power cable is too short to reach both the SDD and HDD Sad

Any suggestions? Can I mount the SDD in the free optical bay and use the extra optical power cable? The SATA data cable will reach the motherboard, so only a question of power.

Also, does it matter which SATA port on the motherboard I plug the data cable for the SSD into?

Many thanks,

AK
