I am starting to build my first pc, and am totally new. I know very little about SSDs in general. My question is when installing the ssd, do I need just the sata 3 cable or do I need the sata and another power cable as well. If you guys could link me to what I need that would be very very appreciated!

Oh okay thank you so much! I wasn't sure, so that is kind of a weight off of my mind. I haven't gotten into the build yet. I was kind of worried about getting the wrong thing.

The only time you have an oddball cable would be special drives(lets say 1.8inch) and slim optical drives(they have a combo sata/power connector 5 volts only).

Like the user above says, you should have everything needed. It is the same plugs used for normal SATA hard drives(while SSD's tend to run on 5 volts only, the normal plug is still used.).

EDIT, A bit late to the party :)
