SATA cable used for this? It didn't come with one
So I purchased the i9 with 512GB SSD. But since it’s blade, it never came with a SATA cable! I searched high and low and could not find a part for this. What can I do?
Also, it looks like I can use a thermal sensor, does that mean I can just get a Samsung 860 2TB SSD drive? Thank you.
Is dit een goede vraag?

At what point will I know if I don't need a thermal sensor (that OWC says I need, but other DP says not needed)? Obviously when the fan ramps up, but can I make it happen sooner?

Your systems sensors call for the the fan to ramp up as the internals get warm and then run hardest when the system is pushing out a lot of heat.
You don't need to push the system to see if the sensor is needed or not. The way the system responds when one of the required sensors is missing is to go into Safe Mode rapping the Fan the the max as well as lower the CPU's clocking so not to push the CPU heat output.
So if your system needed the sensor you would know after a few minutes once the display was connected up (it too has needed thermal sensors!) The fan will ramp up and finally go at the highest RPM on its own.
If you what a better way of seeing things then get this app https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/TG Pro] it will allow you to see all of the thermal sensors as well as the fans RPM. You can even ramp up the fan manually.

I had the Mac Fan Control and set to ambient auto, connected the Samsung SSD, and the fan speed stayed at 1200. I manually ramped up just to see or hear what it would be like. Played some youtube full screen and it was still 1200. Based it on near RAM temperature and it went up to like 1800 - I'm hoping that's OK too?
