There are two kinds in common use:
molex for IDE devices and sata power connector for SATA devices
IDE
A Molex Connector connects to optical drives and hard drives.
Monitors, Printers, NIC's, Hard Drives can be both, and optical drives.
Hello, Currently we do not have HDD with fiber optic connector on board, but this can be expected in future. Intel has already developed a chip which uses optical interconnects instead of copper and carbon nano tubes. When this technology is perfected, all the devices even the USB will be optical.
Disk storage devices are most commonly used in personal computers as a means to enhance memory. The most common are hard disk drives, optical disk drives, and even zip drives.

The purpose of secondary memory is storage of data that is not immediately needed for processing by the CPU. Examples of secondary devices are hard drives and optical drives.
San's or Storage Area Networks are the devices used when making optical drives, or storage drives, such as usb flash drives. You can purchase these from companies like New Egg.
A FireWire connector is a type of data transfer port used to connect high-speed external devices such as cameras, hard drives, and audio interfaces to a computer. It was popular in the early 2000s but has largely been replaced by newer connection standards like USB and Thunderbolt.
Serial ATA (SATA) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives.
