It has both a Molex and a S-ATA power connector. However, I would recommend you get this drive instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136075
It is a dollar more and does not have a standard molex connector but is more reliable by far.
If you're adding a hard disk drive, you shouldn't be using a cheap, nasty PSU that doesn't have any S-ATA power connectors, what PSU do you currently have?

The brand of the PSU is very important. Most cheap PSUs can't even deliver half as much as they say they can before they go up in smoke or flames, LITERALLY. I highly recommend shelling out for an Antec Earthwatts 380W, they're only 60 bucks from newegg.
