Is this a RETAIL package with the software and the SATA cable? I just want to plug & play & not fool around with software and cramp my PICKLE FINGERS!

It comes with a disc but you need to do firmware updates and NO it does NOT come with a SATA cable.

You will need the proper software for watching or making Blu-Rays and it does come with SATA cable.

there not included. this is a bare drive. if you got a retail kit it may come with cables. but that would be another 10 dollars for a 2 dollar cable

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

I don't quite understand your question. The product as I got it consisted of USB to SATA/IDE adaptor, cables, and power supply (the power supply is included because some disk drives need more power than a USB port can provide).

Update: You need to be CERTAIN the ssd is MICRO sata, and the other connection is STANDARD SATA, as I see it. My mistake was not even knowing there was such a thing as SLIMLINE sata, but WTH... Six bucks...? NBD... I'd send you mine, but I never get anything done. 'Buried somewhere anyway...

Mine came with everything needed including cables and software. But, I used DriveImage (http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm) to do the drive-to-drive cloning since I knew it was reliable. Everything worked perfectly. Love it - much faster, even on my old laptop!

It comes with a USB 3.0 Cable. As I recall it did not come with a SATA cable. I purchased a separate 6" eSATA cable.

No, it is a bare bones drive. I ordered a SATA cable separately from amazon.

There was a cable included. I can't remember if it had software but when i connected it to the computer it loaded right up.

I don't think the SATA data cable is supplied. I had a spare one. Look in the manual for where the connector is on the motherboard. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=99190 - This link has pictures which show the red additional SATA Cable connected to the motherboard.

Yes, the SATA cable is included, but not the power cable. The power cable usually comes with a power supply

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

Same answer as Geoffrey, it has 2 parts: one for the drive and one for the hardware interface. Both connect together then a cable usb2/3 to your pc. You do need a sata drive

It is a standard SATA connector. I added an SSD to mine first thing. Warning: This will void the warranty.

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.
