The cable I’m asking for is the one on the right (red), I’m swapping psus and I can’t find it with my new psu. It was connected to my ssd and I’m not sure if it’s needed or my new psu has it

The other one is the closest looking one I could find

Solution
That looks like a SATA data cable. A SSD should only have two cables connected to it, one for power (larger connector) and one for data (smaller connector).

The SATA data cable would connect your SSD to the motherboard (SATA port).

Thank you, does the larger one also connect to the motherboard or the power supply, and if I switch power supply (it looks like an old power supply cable) will I need to swap this as my new one doesn’t appear to come with one?

Sata power cable from PSU connects to sata SSD/HDD.

Black cable in your image (post #1) looks like molex to floppy power adapter. If you have no floppy drive in your pc, then you have no use for this adapter.
