Hi i want to upgrade my storage for a fairly cheap price.

I ended with these drives:
Crucial MX300 275 GB SSD
Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB Hard Drive
Total price on alternate.be is 151€

Would this be a good choice?
And are SATA cables delivered with the drives or do i buy them seperately?

Greetings and thanks <3

The SATA data cables you hold in your hand got from the drives to the motherboard.
From the PSU, there are also power cables that connect to the drives as well.

What drive(s) do you have in the system now?
Connect them exactly like that one.


Next question - What are you planning on doing about getting the OS and everything else on these two new drives?

Yes, that is a good combination.
SATA cables may or may not be included. You'll have to look specifically as to the list of "included in the box".
