On this site people like to refer to pages instead of product codes and that doesn't help when those pages come down sometimes

Yuo should tell us if you want to enclose it in the computer or a external box.

If you have a SATA version you need a slimsata to sata adapter to power it and feed it data. These adapters come in various forms.
A part like SLSATAADAP from startech will work as long as you have room for it. If you have less room, the SLSATAF20 or a silverstone CP10 is better

If your case does not have the ability to hold a slimline drive, you will need a holder like Silverstone FP58B(slot load required) or TS03.

You will find many options on the internet.

The small adapter is best in tighter cases like this


If you have more room, you will see the larger adapter will work.
