The Hiper Type-R power supplies come with connectors aplenty. First off, we have the main 24-pin (remember, the package includes a 24 to 20-pin adapter) ATX connector and 4-pin ATX 12V power connector. Next, we have two SATA power connectors dedicated to power such devices - It's good to see these available as SATA hard disks become ever more commonplace. We then have two lines for Molex connectors, both of which contain four Molex connectors and a floppy connector. So, connectivity aplenty on offer here, which should be plenty for most people's usage. Just to sum up, here's a complete list of available connectors.
  • ATX 24-pin power connector
  • 4-pin ATX12V auxiliary power connector
  • 2 x 4-pin Molex loops, four Molex per loop, both loops have floppy connectors
  • 2 x SATA power connectors

Both the ATX and Molex lines are 420mm long, so you should have no trouble with the reach of any of the connectors to your devices, making the whole installation process hassle free.
