Im not good with wire names so i need to know what cables i need. What cables should i use to connect the following to my corsair cx500.

Fan that uses a 4-pin connected (the thick white one)
2 x sata hard drives
1 x sata DVD drive

My corsair has slots for

2 x 6-pin
2 x 8-pin

I think I've wrote slots right but like I said I'm terrible with the names.

Hi
Is this a modular psu.?
You refer to slots on the psu

Hard drive and modern full height DVD drives all use the same sata power connector (black, red & yellows wires, the 3.3 V wire is usually not connected)

Google sata power connectors pictures

To see pictures of connectors
