If I buy the laptop version for a desktop, as it is a fair bit cheaper, what else do I need to buy to install it?

a 2.5 - 3.5 inch mounting bracket, anything else? cables or whatever?


Thanks
 
A SATA data cable.

A SATA power connector from your PSU.

You don't need a mounting bracket but you can get one if you wish.

The drives are so small and light you can rest them anywhere or just use velcro, double sided tape or whatever.
 
Your power supply will have the necessary connector unless it's as old as the hills.

Do you have a spare SATA data cable already?

If you're building a new system then the motherboard will come supplied with some SATA data cables but you'll have to check how many.

If you do need to buy a data cable then you can buy any from the OcUK shop, just make sure you get one long enough.

You need something like the one you linked but you don't need to spend that much, a £2-£3 will do the job.

You don't need a SATA III cable, any SATA cable is fine.
 
This is my first system so have nothing really.
I will just wait for everything to come and see what I have (or don't)

Thanks for your help :)
