I'm getting a 1 TB HDD for media, 1 for backup, and a 120 GB SSD for OS and programs, If I get a White braided sata cable with the 3 plugs, can I use the one cable for all of these and plug it in to one port on the PSU? Thank you very much!

Also, for the CD drive I assume it will come with some power cable to plug it in to the PSU and that's all that's needed for that. Correct me if Im wrong!

using 1 sata power cable for 3 drive is fine. The optical drive most likely will not come with a power cable(retail may come with a data cable but not power). Your power supply should have the power connector for the optical drive. Really you shouldn't need to buy any power cables they should all be with the power supply.

You really don't have to include "Noob" in all your threads.

None of my optical drives come with power cables. The PSU should come with enough cables for you to use.

Only reason I ask is because In my case (storm stryker) I'm rotating the hard drive cages so they will be showing, and I'm getting NZXT white braided cables, wanted to make sure which to buy!
