It comes packaged with a USB 3.0 cable and an ac power adapter. Should work with any windows system.

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!

When I purchased this it was just the drive. All other cables etc needed I either had or bought. Hope this helps.

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

The drive is a bare bones drive, so no cables included. Most people have a spare SATA connector in the computer especially if replacing an old drive. This is a great buy!

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

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).

The one I bought came with a Sata Cable and software/instructions but I have only installed t and not put the drivers in yet!

It does NOT, as it's an OEM product (bare bones, just the drive). You can pick up a SATA data cable from amazon or one of it's 3rd party amazon marketplace sellers.

hmmm good question...mine just keeps pluggin along. Since I got this used from some one who clearly could not get it going with the cryptic instructions...I got it for steal (price of the drives).

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.

The adapter has the power cable and IDE cable sticking out of it. So, you will connect the IDE hard drive to those two and sit it in the adapter. Then, the adapter has SATA connections in the back that you can connect it to. But, no SATA cables come in the box. Hope that helps

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.

It comes with the 3 SATA cables. What it doesn't mention is that it requires 2 std power connections and a SATA power connector plugged into the rear of the housing. It Seems to work well so far running a 3 TB JBOD. Hope this helps.

I used a 2TB Seagate drive, and had no trouble recognizing it in Win 7. Both USB and E-SATA worked ok for me. Have you tried both interfaces? Might want to try connecting it to another system as well.

The drive comes with a USB3 cable. No thunderbolt connection on the unit-only USB.
