Question about SSD

Solution
Some cases have their own mounting for 2.5 inch drives that don't require an adapter tray - for example, I once had an Antec Three Hundred case, which had holes for mounting a 2.5 inch drive at the bottom, and I presume the newer variant the Three Hundred Two also has them. If the OP will tell us what case the drive will be put into, we can find out if it has mounts for 2.5 inch drives.

They use SATA cables, like most modern hard drives. That drive supports SATA 3 which is the fastest version out now, so you'll want to see what your mother board supports.

I'm not sure if the drives come with a SATA cable or not, but I'm pretty sure they WON'T include a tray. These drives are smaller than a regular HDD and will need a special tray that allows them to fit in a normal HDD tray. Check in your motherboard or case box, this may have been included....my motherboard came with a bunch of SATA 2 and 3 cables, and my case came with a SATA mounting tray. A lot of people have to buy these separately, however.
