Extra Cables?

[ltdan]

I ordered my new PC as planned with tons of support from you guys, BUT here is my question. Will I need to purchase a SATA cable for this drive?
LITE-ON DVD Burner
I assume I will because it's OEM.
What about my hard drive? Will it come with a SATA cable?
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB

Sata cables come with the mobo. You should get 1 or 2.

You would have got the cable that'll be compatible with the DVD drive with the Mobo itself, on the other hand the WD HDD you have there is a SATA 6GBps one.... would advise you to get a SATAIII cable for that, although it would be backwards compatible with the legacy SATA, but to ensure you get the max speed from that drive it would be better to buy a cable. Also , just to be safe , make sure you have a SATAIII port on the Mobo....
