DVD Rom SATA for SSD

[Aetherion]

Hi All,

I just bought a new Samsung SSD Evo 850 250GB to replace my old 64 GB Crucial M4.
When I wanted to connect the Samsung SSD, I used my Sony DVD Rom SATA cable and power cable because I don't really use the DVD Rom that often.
But when I boot up my PC, it cannot detect the new SSD. Then I turn off the PC again, and this time I connect the new SSD using my Samsung 1 TB HDD SATA and power cable. With this connection, the SSD can be detected.

So I wonder, is it true that the SATA and power cable used for DVD Rom cannot be used for SSD?

Thanks.

Nope, the cables don't have eyes to see whether they are connected to HDD, SSD or ODD. They are all the same.
