Im building a computer for the first time and I need to attach my SSD to my motherboard. How do? The motherboard is a Gigabyte H110M-A. Help me compute.
What kind of SSD do you have?
If it's a SATA, use a SATA connector to connect it.

It does say SATA on it, yes. Is this connector something that Im gonna have to go find separately? Is it something I could go pick up at walmart by chance?

Your motherboard may have come with some, or the SSD may have come with one. It's usually red with an L shaped connector

I found a cord that fits onto one of the little gold tabs, but there's still a bigger one loose in the wild. I took a blurry picture to better illustrate.
There are two cables you need to get you SSD working, left one is the SATA power cabe (it will be connected to your PSU) and the left one is the SATA Data connector that you plug into your Motherboard.

oops, the one on the right is the SATA Data connector*

I believe Ive found the larger cable. What should the other end look like? A 2x3 of little pegs?
>>111996
Could be, depends on your PSU, if you're using a modular one, that would probably look like it, else it would directly go into your PSU

Yes, that cord looks right.
