Cable Connection Question

Planning on upgrading from my current EIDE hard drives to a couple of SATA drives. I'll be running a 74GB Raptor as my master, and another WD SATA drive as the slave. What cables/connectors are required? All I have now are the old ribbon cables. Thanks...
 
You'll need SATA data cables, SATA power connectors from your PSU and SATA connectors on your mobo.
Also, you can't have an SATA drive as a slave. They're each on their own channel.

The mobo supports two SATA drives. So, since no master-slave set up is possible, I'll need to use two of these cables. Is that correct? Then I'm good to go?
