Cable, caddy and power for SSD

Going to get a Samsung 850, am i right in thinking i need an adapter to fit it into my ATX case?

Does it use the same kind of power cables as a normal drive? If not is there an adapter you can use?

Do i need a special SATA cable or will the one that came with my motherboard be ok?

standard sata 3 data cable and the sata 'hard drive' power connector (that's the thinner, similar to sata data just wider, power cable not the old 4 pin chunky one) .

You might need an adapter to fit the drive in the case if you don't have any 2.5" bays though.

Connections are the same as a standard SATA hard drive.

Double sided sticky or Velcro and you can put it anywhere.
