I'll be blunt; I'm confused. On ym SSD's and my Optical Drive there are two SATA connectors side by side. Do I really need two SATA cables? I thought there was power and data all on one SATA cable. In one of the diagrams it shows two cables needed and has them labelled as "SATA Power" and "SATA Interface" yet in the same diagram it says "Never plug in two SATA Cables to same device".

I mean seriously. This isn't hard. I'm hesitant before I hit the on button for the first time. Thanks for your insight!

Looks like it came with the PSU SATA connector but not data connectors. Thanks Everyone for your timely responses! Any suggestions for finding good quality colored or UV reactive cables?
