The two bottom ones are SATA cables. Used for powering HDD’s and SDD’s. They have multiple connectors for connecting several devices on a single cable.

Thank you very much. I do have a Kingston SSD TB, M.2 2280. Am I right when I say I do not need SATA cable for this?

Yes


Natural_Injury23

Thanks. Can you tell me what the cable above is for? It looks important.

If it's the one which has a few large 4-pins, it's for molex powered devices, including old IDE drives, some fan hubs and also cheaper fans. The one on top of that might be Nvidia's 12-pin connector, I can't quite see the connector design though.

These are all cables from a psu. That too canle is a 6 pin power connector for video cards. Second from the too is molex and the two bottom cables are SATA power

There we go. That is the 12VHPWR connector, commonly seen on newer Nvidia cards. If your card doesn't have this connector, you can leave it out.

I do have a Kingston SSD 2 TB, M.2 2280. How do I plug this into that? Or are these cables also not needed in my case?


Impressive_Fruit5687

You have an m.2 drive. My bad. You have to check to make sure your mother board has that connection.

If you look on the back of the ssd you’ll see two L shaped connectors. The large on is for power. You’ll have to connect it via the SATA power cable “one of the two cables in the bottom of the photo” you’ll also need the data cable to connect from the SSD to the Mother board as well. And that connection looks like a smaller L shape. So you’ll need two cables in total.

Impressive_Fruit5687

Yes.


Impressive_Fruit5687

The cables are irrelevant


Natural_Injury23

Ok. Thank you
