SSD’s usually connect straight to the motherboard via a slot that you screw down onto the motherboard. Some manufacturers may have a heat sync over the slot which allows your SSD to be cooled. HDD are connected via SATA cables, the end is like a long L and that as well connects to a header on your motherboard.
