Sata Hard Drive

Gonna buy a 250GB Sata drive, but one question do they all come with sata cables standard?

I'd say no. My Seagate Barracuda didn't come with any.

Damn. Well all pci-e motherboards come standard to fit two sata drives yeah? saves me checking.

You would have had some sata cables supplied in your motherboard box.

As said before unless you buy a retail; box hard drive you wont get a cable. But most, if not all, motherboards come with at least a couple of cables

If the PC was a prebuilt one though it's unlikey that it came with extra cables.

usually motherboards come with atleast 1 sata cable and also usually 4 sata sockets, just check inside if theres sata sockets free before buying, and also if u have no spare cables buy 1
