what is included in the box? Do I need to buy any cables to install this? and what else do i need?
A: The box has just the drive and a CD with the Samsung Magician software and the Samsung Cloning Software
You will need different things depending on what you want:
In any case you will need a screw driver to install the drive in your laptop/desktop
Your various options for using this drive are :
1) Clean Install, No cloning of existing drive, Replace Existing drive in its place to make this the primary,
2) Clone existing drive, replace existing drive in its place after cloning to make this the primary,
3) Add this as a second drive in addition to your earlier drive and clone the existing drive to this to make this the primary,
4) Add this as a second drive in addition to your earlier drive and use
this as the secondary while letting your existing drive remain as the
primary
What you need for each of the above:
For 1) Just the screwdriver lol and then after installation an Operating System CD to install an OS in your new SSD
For 2) If you want to clone your existing drive then you will need a
SATA III cable or SATA to USB enclosure to connect your SSD to a SATA or
USB port while cloning. Try ASIN: B008ASF5MC or ASIN: B00E362W9O. The
CD has the cloning software. After cloning put this drive in the place
of your primary and reboot and it will boot up with everything like it
was before except at a monstrous speed
For 3) If you want to install the SSD as a second (but not necessarily
secondary) drive in an existing SATA drive slot (ex. DVD Writer) then
you will need a SSD Caddy. You will need to find out which Caddy fits
your existing slot.
After this You will need to clone the existing drive to this, reboot, change the boot order to boot from the SSD and reboot.
For 4) Just find your Caddy from the steps above and install the SSD in it and reboot
