No drives generally come with no cables. Motherboards normally include a couple of sata cables if you bought the bits separately.
Thanks, I will check on the power connector and if all is well I will get these ordered later on today.No the SSD won't come with a sata cable so you will need to buy one also don't forget to check you have a spare sata power connector coming from the PSU ( there should be another connector on the cable currently powering your SSD that in you PC now)
Amazon product ASIN B000FHQQWY
Is this a decent SSD or could someone recommend something better?
Seagate 1TB BarraCuda 120 SSD 2.5" SATA Solid State Drive
Buy from Scan - 1TB Seagate BarraCuda 120, 2.5" SSD, SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s), TLC 3D NAND, 560MB/s Read, 540MB/s Write, 90k/90k IOPS, Retailwww.scan.co.uk
I paid a few quid more (£93) for a SanDisk October last year so good prices are heading down again.Yeah that Samsung drive is a billy bargain
Thanks, appreciate it. £82.94 for a 1TB SSD is a no brainer for me. I've been rapidly running out of space as games are getting so massive I've had to uninstall my less frequently played. It's coming Monday!I don't frequent pc gaming much (same reason I don't moderate any more) but you're welcome. Kids put a stop to that.
Yea been like that for years ,Guys am I missing something. Why’s it cheaper for me to by an external 8TB HDD than an internal one? For example the 8TB Seagate Barracuda is circa £160, yet you can get a WF external 8TB drive for £130. The latter requires more parts..how or why is it cheaper?
Usually cheaper grade disks on the external drive, as it's assumed to be permanent storage rather than frequent read-write.Guys am I missing something.

The Crucial has a much lower read/write speed than the Seagate and it's not really about the space, I bought a 1TB SSD the other day and because someone mentioned MVMe I decided I needed one of those as well.THis is only a tenner more for twice as much storage
Crucial P1 1TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD - CT1000P1SSD8
Popularly priced SSD with a capacity of 1TB and super Quick 2000Mbps read speed and amazingly Fluid 1700Mbps write speed., Mfg Code: CT1000P1SSD8www.cclonline.com
I see an M2 slot on that motherboard though at a quick view but not checked if the one i've linked will work.
You'll not notice the difference in speed. You will notice the difference in capacity.The Crucial has a much lower read/write speed than the Seagate and it's not really about the space, I bought a 1TB SSD the other day and because someone mentioned MVMe I decided I needed one of those as well.
There are so many numbers and letters on the components it's super confusing to what will work or not, I now remember why I like console gaming over pc.
