M.2 SSD Question

stevesonofjobs · Aug 31, 2017

Hey guys, I building my first PC and after installing my M.2 SSD I don't know which cables I have to connect, or does it even needs cables?
I realize my question is dumb but i'm still a noob to these kind of stuff

The M.2 format connects directly to the motherboard.

no cables

Thank you very much, does that mean I can remove sata connections from my PSU? Because I don't have hard drives it's only this 1050GB M.2 SSD

If you have a fully modular PSU then yeah sure, unless you have something else that needs it (some watercoolers do, or an optical drive for example)
