Does this require a cable and bay converter?

Yes, it does require cables for power and communication. Depending on the age of your computer, your disk controller or mother board may not support the cable design of the newer drives. If look at the end of both plugs on your system and the plugs have a flat slot with a tiny 'L' shape at the end of the slot you should be good to go. If you have the older pin type connectors you are not. For a 3.5 inch bay in most desktops, you will need a bay converter or caddy, which are very reasonable and usually a recommended item on the Amazon web site when viewing the drive.

SATA data and power cable needed. Most newer computers have them attached or in packaging. Some computers have a bay as part of the case some do not. Mine did not, I used a nylon tie and a paper clip until I get a chance to get one.

If you atching this drive to you laptop externally to transfer data you will need to get a cable. If you replacing existing drive and old drive has a tray and its same width you should be fine. If this is for desktop then you will need spacers unless desktop has a 2.5 inch slot. Hope this helps

Actually: no it does not. Unless you put a correct converter in between, which we did and then it works.

It does not include cables. I stopped using it. It might not be compatible with two different operating systems. (XP & Windows 7)

You should not need a converter box. Have you tried connecting the antenna directly or using a better HD antenna?

Most likely yes. However, there are some PC's/Laptops that have odd configurations and will not allow for a conversion cable. Unfortunately it is one of those trial and error type things.

This is 110V version....so yes you need either a passive or active converter

No, it's a scam and a waste of money. You need an actual converter box for that. Don't waste your money on this.

You will need to plug in a power connector to both the hard drive and the converter.

No it has no cable input. But there are converters available with a coax cable input & RCA type outputs.They usually run about $25.

No, it is basically a plug-in replacement for a laptop drive. If you need a cable, you will have to buy one.

Yes it does, no extra cable is required. I just got one. Plug it in and go.

Yes; you will still need a converter. It really is just an antenna that week help you get the clearest picture possible, but it isn't a substitute for a converter/doesn't have one built into it. It is a great antenna though.

Yes, it has a cable that goes to an AC adapter. You use an ethernet cable initially to set it up too.
