I am somewhat new to building a whole system from Sata.

Do I need to order a separate power cord for Sata drives? or will they plug into an Antec Earthwatts 380?

I am planning on getting an extra Sata cable, but do I need some type of power converter cable for the power supply to a sata hard drive?

This is what I am talking about in terms of the Sata Power cord:
Sata Power
Do I need some of these? Or do drives usually take the older style 4 pin direct from the power supply?

I am going with the Antec Earthwatts 280. Just read it has 4 SATA's so I will not be getting extras for now.

Thanks.
