SDD - Z11 plus

[BoSSPEED]

I have a Zalman Z11 mid tower case and a MSI Z170-A pro motherboard but I want to install a SSD for the boot drive and some applications. I was thinking of going for something along like this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADATA-Premier-Inches-Superior-ASP550SS3-240GM-C/dp/B013J7Q338?ie=UTF8&tag=pcp0f-21

or

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-Solid-State-Drive-Launched/dp/B00GWKYD9G/ref=pd_vtph_147_lp_t_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=Z58Z3092JET7CAD26K9V

^ possibly will get this

My question is what would I need to install it, do I just need the SSD and some screws? Like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f3Jdj5g5Lc

I would also need a SATA power and SATA data wire which goes into the motherboard which are not supplied I'm guessing?

Would they be compatible?

Any help appreciated.

SATA power comes direct off the PSU.
SATA data is a SATA cable, that may or may not come with the drive.
Or you might have an extra from the case or motherboard.

Mount screws (if needed) should have come with the case.

On the back of your motherboard plate there's a place to mount SSD's or the 3-1 bracket provided with your case

You would need a SATA cable (buy one) and screws and equipment that came with your case to correctly mount it.

Does anyone know where I can buy the screws from? This is an old case and I've must of used most of the screws.

If you hit newegg or ebay or amazon and type in computer screw kit you'll get a lot of options under ten dollars that will have the generic sizes you need to mount pretty much anything that isn't specialized (like zalman thumb turn screws). It's that easy. I'd choose the fastest shipper, waiting for something to arrive from Hong Kong would be a pain.

You need M3*5mm for mounting the drive.
Where? Your local hardware store, Amazon, etc, etc.

It says "hard disk screws", so you're probably OK.

I want to buy a set with everything so in future I don't have to buy it again later.

Does that amazon link have these screws?

6-32*6mm
- M3*5mm
- M3*6mm
- #6-32*4mm
- #6-32*6mm

No idea. It doesn't list the specific sizes.
But probably.
