There isn't a lot. 

 

24 pin: the biggest, goes straight to the motherboard from the PSU. You'll notice its quite long. can't run a PC without it

 

8 Pin: Has 8 pins, goes to the CPU connector. Depending on motherboard size and CPU, this can fluctuate from 4 to 8 pins. Cant run a PC without it

 

8-6 pin: PCI connectors plugs in to a Graphics card or anything that goes into the PCI slots.

 

Sata Power: Hard drives. thats it. Hard drives or solid state... Storage? yeah. Oh and DVD Drives. 

 

Its quite simple. Check the PSU and motherboard manual frequently for info.

I dont recognize SSDs as being things yet

@STRMfrmXMN will tell you all about it

You mean how they exist and they're too similar in performance to HDDs to you.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Lol with high performance hdds reaching maybe up into the 200MB/s read/write range, whereas some SSDs are over 1GB\s read/write xD
