    VPN? Wires? Process?

    I've heard that VPNs are not physical. But are they really untangible? I know that they are created via software but I'm kind of confused...don't they have to be hooked up to servers and such? I'd like some in-depth explanation. Thanks.

    What is an original model name?

    I'm trying to do my rebates but I'm not sure what the original model name is. There's a sticker with the serial no., part no., product name, EAN, dimensions, and the weight on it. Is the original model name on this sticker or do I cut out the big name out of the box (ASRock Z97 Extreme6)? Thanks.

    I have a SSD and a HDD. Do I connect with 2 ends of it or do I use two cables (1 for each drive)? http://www.techpowerup.com/img/13-07-23/bc050_w_h_2.jpg If not, why do they have 3 ends to it? Thanks.
