    Hi,

    That looks to be USB to IDE/SATA so wouldn't plug into your motherboard SATA port, this should let you connect your HDD to the motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186078

    I didn't have a good look around (didn't look on BestBuy either) so there might be a cheaper option if you want to look around.
