does new SSD come with SATA cable?

Hi all,

if i buy a new SSD, eg the one below, does it come with a SATA cable? If not, do these come with new motherboards, cases or do I need to buy them separately when planning for a new build?

Thanks

Motherboards often come with cables, including Sata.
Cheaper boards may come with less cables

Hard drives and ssd don't normally include a cable.

The main thing I forget is monitor cable.

I've bought drives with, some without, The intel ones I've bought all come with cables. The crucial ones didn't. Don't know bout kingston.

I've never bought a motherboard (Abit, Asus, Gigabyte) that hasn't come with some cables.

Yeah, some monitors come with them, some without, it's not even a brand thing either.

Except for B-grade items, all motherboards come with some SATA cables. The cheap ones may come with 1 or 2, more expensive boards can have more.

Some of the SSD retail packs do come with a cable (and often a drive bay adapter), but you pay over the odds for it.

Some monitors come with cables, others don't.

I've always found that the 'OEM' drives come without the fancy packaging and cables you get with the retail versions of the same drive.

Motherboards typically come with an assortment of cables, always best to check what's included before you purchase though.

No they don't pretty much, but they're about £1 so get a decent one with your order.

I've never had a cable with any SSD I've ordered, and we're talking double figures here.
