Good day, Happy Valentine's
I am setting up an Amcrest security system located an hour away. We purchased a Sata HDD for installation in the NVR, specifically the NV5232E-16P. We were unable to locate the packaging of the accessories included with the NVR.
Amcrest technical support advised me to submit an RMA, and also sent me a link to a cabling item for this purpose available on Amazon. Can anyone confirm that this is everything I need to connect the HDD to this board?

Thank you in advance

Re: Cabling for connecting HDD to NV5232E-16P NVR
Welcome to the forum
Hate to say it there is just not enough info to be able to answer your question. I personally don't own that NVR. I do know that on my NVR that is kind of like it in many ways that kit that you posted isn't needed and would be a waste of 7$.. IN my NVR a 4216E-AI that is setup with 2 HDD's one 4tb and one that is 6tb had the power connector already in the NVR for both HDD Only thing I needed to add was the Sata cable for data on the 2 HDD's. Any of them and I am sure you have to have one floating around..
In truth someone needs to look into the NVR case because it might be that what is needed is already in the NVR itself.
Because your NVR is POE it is like my 4216E-AI NVR in the since that the Power Supply is built into the NVR case and this the power wires are connected to the power supply. Where on my 4116E-HS, 4108E-HS, 4108E these have Ext power supplies and the power for the HDD have to be connected to the MB on your NVR and my 4216E-AI as I said that isn't the case all power is already connected to the power supply.. Only cable that would be needed is going to be a Sata Cable, Depending on your Machine (Not sure how many HDD bays it has) these cables also might already be installed on the MB or might have cables in the case for the HDD as that can happen as well...
As I said before I personally would look inside the case before buying any extra hardware that might not be needed...

Also sorry so I don't assume that everyone is like me. I thought I would send you to a Ebay listing that has 1 sata cable
https://www.ebay.com/itm/151502269878?_ ... BMgNngod9f
and here is one that is offering a few for double the money and still cost is less then the Amazon listing of a bunch of things you don't need for your setup
