    I bought an SSD drive, I'm unsure of which power cable I need to use.

    For example, my other drive, a 2TB Seagate, uses P8. I see a P7, and logistically it would be convenient, but I don't want to jack the motherboard. It's an Intel SSD 540 series on an Acer Predator.  Appreciate any guidance.

    SATA power are all the same; use any one you want.

    What CC said. No reason an SSD would 'jack the motherboard'. Use any spare power connector you like.
