Hard Drive Power
I am currently using a hitachi desktar hard drive. it uses a 4 pin molex connector for power.
 I want to buy a WD Raptor, and I notice the power connector is different. What kind of power connector is this?  |

Its a SATA power connector, most power supplies come with them, however, you can get a 4pin Molex to SATA Power Connector for about $3 on Newegg.

Like said above its a Sata power connector, if your P/S has one it looks like this
 If not you can get one of these and use a molex connector.

The bottom picture you supplied xbadwolfx, contains a photo of the SATA data transfer connector (The smaller one) and the SATA power connector (The bigger one) The top picture you supplied looks like it supports both IDE and SATA

Cleric, if you look at the first picture in his first post, he shows a hard drive. That specific hard drive in that picture supports both IDE and SATA.
