This is a desktop optical drive. Buy a external usb dvd drive if you want something external.

The drive itself needs a sata data cable and a hard drive power supply cable(don't know the name of that) look on best buy or some store that has these two cables on one end and a USB/ port on ur laptop for the other.

This is an internal dvd drive. That means it's meant to be inside a computer. Its ports connect to the motherboard and power source of a computer. That means you cannot hook it up to your laptop without cracking it open. What you're looking for your laptop is an EXTERNAL hardrive.

You will want to get a standard Micro USB cable (USB A Male to Micro B Male). Something like this: AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)However, this is probably unnecessary since the drive will come with a cable that will work. You can use a USB 3 cable on a USB 2 port.

A USB 3.0 cable comes with the drive. It is my understanding that USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, but I have USB 3.0 on my machine and have not checked that.

1) Try a different AC connector/cord. You probably do not have one but if you bring you Seagate into a Radio Shack, they probably will let you try a compatible connector/cord for the possible sale. 2) Go to Seagate support (www.seagate.com/support/)

For a laptop, I'd ask around for an external hard drive that shuts off when it is Ejected. I have to shutdown my desktop to get the external HD to turned off so I can safely unplug it.Yes, the one I got at Best Buy came with USB cord. Running Windows 7 my USB 2.0 port was compatible.

Drive is powered by the computer (device) it is attached to. There is not external power or plug to attach one.

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

Mine has a Mini-USB 5v cord that came with it so I can plug it in for power. This plug also dual functions as the transfer cable as well so I only need 1 cord in order to access any of my micro drives.

No cables at all. The drive slides into the drive bay and connects with the socket like connection on the back of it. One screw holds it in place. No cables involved. The whole replacement took about 5 minutes once I figured it out. Just make damn sure you unplug the computer AND take the battery out too before you start working on it.

There are two cords to this. One is for data being sent between the computer and the disk and the other is to give the reader power. I have used this drive with out the power cord and it worked for me. Your computer has to have powered USB ports and there has to be enough power for one cord to power the reader. Most laptops built in the past several years have enough power delivered to the USB ports that this will work. But if you are worried about lack of ports you can use a USB hub.

You need a SATA to USB converter with power. Something like: Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

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.

No, there was no cable with the drive. My cable came with the control card.

It connects to a Sata port on the bottom piece of the enclosure. No cords or wires. Its also worth noting that you can use this without the top portion (plastic cover for the drive) You can just plug in ANY sata drive be it 2.5 or 3.5 and retrieve data from them. Then just plug in your main drive again with the fancy plastic shroud when your done.
