I have a 1.8" SSD that I was looking to hook up to my desktop. It requires 3.3v. Looking at my PSU specs it lists a 3.3v output (Corsair 750TX) yet I was under the impression that the molex connectors are 5v...so where does the 3.3v connector come from?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Regular 4-pin molex connectors don't have 3.3v, only 5v and 12v.
But you will notice that SATA power connectors have an extra wire, an Orange wire in addition to the Red and Yellow wires. The Orange wire is 3.3v.
The SSD very likely just uses a regular SATA power connector, so there shouldn't be any issue.

the same for laptop and desktop?
2.5" laptop SATA drives use the same power and data connectors as 3.5" desktop drives.
