I notice getting this product amazon is suggesting that I should get the chord as well... is the chord not included with the hard drive?

All the necessary cords, including international adapters for the power supply, are included in the box.Even the high speed, USB 3.0 is ready to go.

I dont recall what cables were included but I will add that I had to return my unit as it came WITHOUT a hard drive. Id purchase a different brand which includes the hard drive intact. This one requires you to install the hard drive yourself.

Not sure if I mislead you or not. I was thinking that the USB was included. It is possible that I had an extra USB and was thinking it was included. I believe you.

Hi, if you'll go to youtube.com and search for qchord ... there are a number of videos there, including one that is an introduction to q-chord. Also, there is some documentation that comes with the unit that will help you get started.

hi ken ... the 2.5 inch drive is designed to plug in to a laptop .. so no cables are needed or provided. as i recall there is no software included. sometimes there is backup and cloning software on some drives but since high quality open source software is free there is little need to include that. however i am not sure. if any software came on the drive i would have overwritten it but i dont remember any. WD is usually good about providing anything you need as a download. if you wanted to install the 2.5 inch drive in a desktop then you would need the sata and power cables.

Basics does not include the backup software. The detail description that you may have read in Amazon erroneously indicates that the backup software is included with the Basics hard drive. Amazon is WRONG.

It's supposed to link up to the website which no longer exists or has moved. It's supposed to be plug and play. The company has no contact number and Amazon won't protect customers on this because it's a "Manufacturer issue". Me? I have 10 of these things laying around and we spent about $1000. No recourse what so ever. You are buying a paper-weight! If you by some miracle get yours to work, please email me.

Everything you need is included with regards to power. They won't leave you out in the cold. As for the SATA cable - none needed. The hard disk (as with all of these) plugs directly into a small control board inside of the enclosure. So, if you have a hard disk, they'll provide all the rest for you to have a working external drive.

The hard drive is not included. You have to use a 2.5" hard drive. The ones that are sized for laptops. Sata as well.

When I purchased this it was just the drive. All other cables etc needed I either had or bought. Hope this helps.

It was included in the purchase price for me, so I assume yes.. :) Hope that helps.. Had mine almost a year now, and the way it works, I doubt I will need it.. Great drive.

Just plug it in - I backed up my entire hard drive. If you have issues - contact their 800 tech desk.

Sorry.I can't answer your question. I returned the chord because the problem was not the chord. I had to get a new computer.

It does NOT, as it's an OEM product (bare bones, just the drive). You can pick up a SATA data cable from amazon or one of it's 3rd party amazon marketplace sellers.

It's a slide in connection. not a cable. The same as putting the drive into an external enclosure. You don't need to buy anything else if that is what your are asking.

I don't have this hard drive yet, they have not sent it back to me. But it is not a network storage device, it connects to your computer via firewire or USB. At least that's what it should do.

Yes the cable to the computer and the AC adapter cable came with it. It has everything you need, and is pretty easy to install the hard drive into.
