Standard SATA power and data connections. Mounting is easy. Since they have no moving parts, are fairly immune to shock and vibration, and are exceptionally light, a lot of people are just taping them to the sides or bottom of the case. Most of them use the 2.5" form factor and are either 9.5 or 7mm tall. In my case, I bought a cheap 2x 2.5" to 1x 3.5" adapter and put both of my Intel G2 SSDs in the spot for a single 3.5" drive.
