I want to add an SSD to this computer. The user guide shows an "ssd power connector" on the motherboard - what kind of connection is that?

All you need is a standard SATA SSD hard drive. There are no special power requirements over a regular SATA hard drive.

it is the board i did use to suck in to the motherboard IDE connector and connect sata data cable to HDD, and installed Xp. Yes, as you said little tweek required if you try to connect to sata drive to your power supply did not have. I did used adapter cable change to sata power cable i had. you can buy those adapter if you do not had, it's few dollor in the market.

SSD: of course. RAM: dunno at this point. Evidently there is an 8GB version, but they may have soldered onto the motherboard again.

Your motherboard should have come with SATA cables to connect the SSD to it. You should not need anything else.

I have no idea...all my computer are PC's. If you check some of the reviews for this ssd on other Websites, perhaps you'll find some info. Good luck. Bryant

Dear Edward, The Intel SSDSA1NW080G3 has a regular SATA interface. you are looking for any SATA to USB 3.0 adapter cable or enclosure. You will find so many different styles on Amazon but this Enclosure here is for SSDs with mSATA interface. Thank you

Someone said this is a SATA backplane. It is has nothing to do with SATA, it is not a backplane an has nothing to do with drive connectors.

You will need a SATA cable to connect the motherboard to the drive. Most motherboards come with cables. Whether or not that motherboard comes with cables should be listed. The only other cable you need is power but that is attached to your power supply, so you should have one already, unless your power supply is from the 90s

It has a SATA, 2 USB, Audio, and 4 pronged power. If you want all the features to work, you will need TWO (2) USB connectors on your motherboard. Otherwise, you'll have to choose between the USB Ports, or the Memory cards.***ALSO*** be warned, the Audio cable is awfully short. It has absolutely NO slack. Actually, in my system, it was too short and I broke one of the delicate wires trying to make it reach. May have even bent a pin. That feature was absolutely useless for me because of that excessively short cable. I have a Mid or smaller full tower case. Unless you have a smaller case, it could be a problem for you.

If the slot you have is for "mSATA" then this card will work. If it has what is called a "M.2" slot then that requires a different type of SSD card since the connector size is different. Best to refer to your motherboard manual just to be sure since not all motherboards have support for these.

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

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...

SSD stands for Solid State Drive. SATA is the type connection it uses to connect to the motherboard. You want your SSD to use SATA III type connection. Be sure its SATA III which is a 6 gb/s data transfer connection.

This device is for use as an internal housing, not external. It doesn't provide power or USB/Firewire/etc connectors. It just allows you to use a SSD inside your computer the same way you would a regular spinning disk internal HDD.

First of all this is not an SSD. This is what you would put the SSD in if you don't want it in your SATA port. So you would still need to buy an SSD separately if you buy this. Second: if you are not plugging the SSD into the internal SATA port, you do need cables. This enclosure works for that, but it will limit your speed, so you will see /a lot/ less performance from the SSD. I reccomend for desktops buying another SATA cable and for laptops replacing your internal HDD with the SSD and then putting the HDD in this enclosure because there will be no speed decrease this way.

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection

The drive bay is designed to provide mounting points for your SSD since they're smaller than a normal hard drive. This bay does not include any cabling. It's just for adapting the regular drive bay to the right size for the SSD. Having said that, you'll probably need a SATA cable. Suggest you read the documentation on your SSD to make sure you order the right cable.
