Does this include the SATA connector and the rails necessary for installation in a laptop?

Hi. This package includes 7mm to 9.5mm adapter for internal installation? Like Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G) ???

No. The kit version includes a USB 3.0 to sata connector that connects from your computers USB port to the hard drive while the hard drive is outside your computer so you can copy all your old data to the new drive. Once the data has been moved, you must use your computers old internal wires and caddy/rails. If you are adding this device as a second internal hard drive, you will need to get an extra internal cable and caddy/rail. I replaced my old HDD with this SSD on my 5 year old HP, and boot time went from 3 minutes down to about 55 seconds. Then I got a new computer and installed the SSD as main drive, and boot time from completely shut down is about 18 seconds (new laptop, windows 8.1) it comes out of sleep/hibernate in 4-8 seconds including password entry. Very pleased with this purchase.

Hi Margaret, the package does not include any kind of rails or anything but you should be able to re-use the rails that came with your laptop's stock hard drive. We use these drives in HP, Lenovo and Dell systems without any issues.

It does include SATA cables, but there is no connection to a computer. It is 100% self contained without any possible connection to anything but a hard drive, CD, DVD or BD drive.

Yes Ronald, it should come with everything you need, it includes mobo screws, thumb screws, standard Phillips head screws for securing SATA drives, and zip-ties for cable management.

Hey Tom, you just need an SATA port and a 2.5inches and 9.5mm bay for your installation.

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

Drive and driver software no cables you will need to get a sata adapter if you are installing on a desktop, if you are putting it into a laptop then it just goes right in

it comes only with a red sata cable not power. Their should be one in your computer case.

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

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

It comes with two SATA cables with a total of 5 SATA connectors. If you can't connect your SATA drives you're missing a cable or two.

You need a standard SATA cable, not E-SATA cable up to level 3.0. you only need to order one that's long enough for your installation.

It is just the bare drive, basically a circuit board in a plastic shell. Very thin and light. The connector is a SATA plug-in. If you're replacing a notebook drive, it should plug right in. I would get an adapter bracket and cable for a 3.5" drive bay in a desktop. My bare-bones HTPC came with the adapter.

Yes, cables included. The only thing that wasn't included with mine was the USB to sata cable used for backing up the drive to be replaced. I easily worked around this because I have two bays in my laptop. Great buy. Totally recommended. Still no problems whatsoever!

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.

Hi. All you need is in package. And that is correct, SSD 3.5" fits into caddy with the screws. There is no need for rails

Yes, that laptop uses a SATA connection for the hard drive...though it is half the size of the original hard drive in the system (250GB compared to 500GB for the original)
