What kind of power supply do I need for this? Will the sata connection alone power it?

Yes, there is no difference at all in that respect. I have replaced 2 hard drives recently, one in a desktop, one in an old Dell XPS laptop.

Power is provided internally via sata connection or you need an external enclosure if not installing internal drive.

The SATA cable provides the data transfer, but you need the drive to be connected to a power cable from the computer's power supply.

I have this SSD drive hooked into my computer via an SATA cable and a power cable from the computer mother board and computer power supply.This is my main drive. The SATA cable provides the data transfer, but you need the drive to be connected to a power cable from the computer's power supply.

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

Is it a desktop? I needed a SATA power source in my PC I just built for the SSD but not in my laptop.

This power supply has SATA power connectors. It does not come with SATA data cables used to connect your hard drive to your motherboard.

You have SATA cables that connect your HDD to the Mother board. Then you will have a 5 wire ribbon cable with multi drive plugs for the HDD's and the end plug will connect to your power supply. I hope this helps . . . Bob

Karen; there are two SATA connectors on the board, one is for SATA to IDE drive, the other is for SATA drive to IDE, and yes there needs to be a power connection.

It does not come with a SATA cable, it does however come with a 3.5" bracket for mounting in standard drive bays. Your power supply should have plenty of SATA cables included to connect various peripherals.

You need a standard SATA cable, such as this: Monoprice 18-Inch SATA III 6.0 Gbps Cable with Locking Latch and 90-Degree Plug - Blue and a 2.5" SSD to 3.5" HDD mounting kit, such as this one: 2.5-inch SSD / HDD to 3.5-inch Bracket Mount Adapter

You don't need a new power supply, but you will need a 4 pin molex to SATA power cable adaptor. Currently there is a SATA power chain where the first is consumed by the top optical drive. The next one below has the right length for another optical drive, but my tower config has only the one. The third and final is consumed by the USM. This is the Universal Storage Module that allows a USM external drive (Seagate Backup Plus for example) to plug right in from the front (that huge indentation on the front of the tower). Otherwise, there is another lengthy power cable set that is separate and has single SATA power connection to the bottom hard drive. This cable group only has a 4 pin molex otherwise. There are nice drawers for two hard drives, so it just seems odd that this would have a 4 pin instead of another SATA that reaches. Actually, any 2.5" SATA drive will fit in that USM slot in front.

any atx power supply with 24 pin and p4 cables will work. If they don't come with sata connectors you can buy a 4 pin molex to sata adapter. I buy Powork power supplies. They are inexpensive and I've never had a problem with them.

It is merely a straight through cable with standard SATA (L type) connector on the end. It should work with either.

you need to get the SATA cable they are very cheap your unit should have come with one but they are only 2 or 3 dollars

pretty straight forward, literally just open your machine and plug it in. The only real issue with installation is finding a spare outlet for SATA Power.

hello, i could respond to the questions being you only sought 3. in my xeperience it is power with sata hard drive and is used for data with use on cd-rw,and dvd-rw on my comercial cpu

I would need to know the spects of the cpu to answer. If it is a Sata interface it should work.

all you need is a 12vDC 2amp power supply. i would take the drive with you to make sure the plug fits it

Your motherboard should have come with SATA cables to connect the SSD to it. You should not need anything else.
