    • Fan Connector

    Correct Answer
    A. SATA Power Connector
    Explanation
    The SATA Power Connector is used to provide power to SATA drives, such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives. It is a standardized connector that delivers both 5V and 12V power to the drive, ensuring proper operation. The SATA Power Connector is smaller and more compact compared to the older Molex Power Connector, making it easier to connect and disconnect. It has become the standard power connector for SATA drives in modern computer systems.

    • PATA Data Cable

    • PATA Power Cable

    • SATA Data Cable

    • SATA Power Cable

    • Floppy Data Cable

    Correct Answer
    A. PATA Data Cable
    Explanation
    The correct answer is PATA Data Cable because PATA (Parallel ATA) is an older technology used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and optical drives to the motherboard of a computer. PATA Data Cable is used specifically to transfer data between the storage device and the motherboard. The other options listed are different types of cables used for power supply or for connecting other types of storage devices, such as SATA (Serial ATA) drives or floppy drives.
