My new SATA HDDs have two power connections. The standard 4 pin power
connector and the new SATA power connector. Which one do I use? Do I use
both?

Thanks much,
Rich

No, use whatever one you have the connector for.

The connection going to the mobo is data only.

Not power. You still need an adapter to hook
up to a spare 4 pin power connector, from the
power supply. For the power.

Use whichever *one* is most convenient for you.
Do *not* use both.
 
Thanks much. I'll be configuring this system tomorrow and didn't want to
throw a rod out of the gate.
