Recently bought a new PC from Overclockers.

Motherboard: Asus PRIME-A II
Power Supply: Kolink Modular Power 700w 80 Plus Bronze
SSD: WC Blue (WDS500G2B0B)
[If you need any other specs let me know]

I didn't get any HDDs as I already had 2 from a previous build. The one with windows worked straight away however my WD Blue 2Tb (WD202EZRZ) will not power on in the new setup. I do not have it in SATA ports 5 or 6 due to the M2 being installed.

I have plugged the power into an old computer PSU and the SATA into my new computer and it read it. However, if it's plugged into my PSU it will not power on, this means it won't show up in the BIOS or disk management either. I have tried the wires from my other HDD which is working and that didn't solve the issue and the working HDD powers on and is found on any of the wires so they're not faulty.
 
Thanks ordered one from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. Will it be fine staying in a molex permanently or should I be looking to update my HDD to transfer data after I finally get it working again?
