I've got a GIGABYTE z97p-d3 motherboard.

Currently i have a 120gb kingston ssd, i've ordered a 250gb crucial ssd.

What are the correct ports to put them in?

Place them in any of the SATA ports, I tend to go 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on.

os ssd on port 0 storage or second ssd on port 1

remember to set the boot order/priority with your os ssd as first boot device in bios or top of the list/save/exit

OS on 0

Another question the SSD power cable can i use any, as one cable has like two power cable popping out of it?

Do i have to use the one with two popping out or use any two?

Correct the SSD with the operating put in 0 and use any power sata power cables, depending on the case being used you place the SSD'S one above each other and then one lead with the power connectors coming off can plug into each of the SDD's.
