The manual lists a SATA Power header on the motherboard (right next to the SATA data connectors) and a bundled SATA power cable.

🙈 I see it now in the picture, it's directly next to the SATA data. That's why it's better to look more than 5mins before asking questions. Thanks
You could power them however you need to. However, it’s common in this case to power the drives using one of the headers on the motherboard.
You could use one of the USB headers, as long as you find one that’s compatible with your motherboard and the right number of drives.
The motherboard might even have a dedicated header specifically for this purpose, in which case ASRock may sell the adapter you’re looking for.
The other poster cleared it, thanks! Didn't know you could use an USB header.
