I am building a new PC, the motherboard came with two Sata 3.0 cords, two angled Sata 3.0 ports. my BX100 SSD came with no cables, and my PSU is on the way. So, I can connect the SSD with Sata 3.0, but do I need to buy Sata Express cables to use Sata Express?  Thanks, Ethan

The ssd doesn't support sata express, so a Sata 3 cable is all you'll need.

Hey EthanTheFrongMan,
 
As the guys pointed out, you would only need the SATA cables. You can always look up all your drives and see what types of connections they support. Pretty much all current HDDs and SSDs use SATA connection. :)
