Thank you for your interest in our products. This comes with SATA cables and screws.

Just the drive. No power or data cable but i knew that from reading the reviews and already had spares of both anyway. Have had the drive for about a year now and has worked perfectly, would not hesitate to purchase another one if needed.

It is an enclosed SSD, so yes it comes with the drive. A very good one too. I own 1-240GB and 2-460GB U32's. If you have the same experience I have had with these drives you will like it a lot!

"Drive Only" is a bare hard drive. A "resellers kit" contains the drive, SATA cable, etc.

Typical you would want a Western Digital purple drive. You can try this drive. It should work tho.

No just the drive. I guess they expect the motherboard comes with the cables, or that you will be replacing out an older drive.

Mine came with the backup software already on the drive. It is part of the setup.

Don't recall. But drive failed within a year or so after purchase (18 months max) , so I wouldn't recommend you buy it.

There is no drive included, but there is a bay that supports 2.5 inch drives. I currently use a 240gb mSATA for the OS and 1tb for misc files and media.

Presently I have a drive connected to it as a backup device for my laptop. Temporarily. However it is mostly used to check drives and retrieve data.

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

You can download most software now or buy an external dr for about 50$. Not putting in the drive cuts down the weight and the price.

I added the ssd. Really improved the unit. Not sure about another optical drive

They provide something called Seagate Dashboard which is like a menu. From there you can have the drive do backups as well as post every picture backed up also posted to Facebook.

It's a great drive but doesn't come with software other than the built in drivers. Check if you have a media player with your os and if not (windows 8) you can download some decent free software or buy some.

It came with a cable and the booklet on how to install, cl9ne, and wipe the drive. I had bought an extra 6gb sata cable just in case but was surprised when it was in the box

Same, except you have to do all the setup of the hard drives if you buy your own. If you buy it with the drives you can contact them about how you want it setup. If you buy it with the drives, they will install, configure, and check the drives before they ship. How they configure is up to you to contact them before they ship.

You can order the drive and verify the serial with HGST when you receive it. Just order it from amazon and you know you're safe (ships from sold from)
