Its a standard SATA drive. All you need is a SATA data cable to the motherboard, and one of the other SATA power connections that already exist on your PSU cables.

If you're replacing the existing drive, you do not need anything.

But why are you replacing a 1TB Seagate with a 1TB WD?

OK then....if it is the drive, thats a good reason.

Although...this might be the time to move to an SSD instead of another slow spinning drrive.

Whether on its own or in being part of a prebuilt, I don't suppose the Seagate is still under warranty?

You can contat CyberPower directly, through AMZ, and find out what warranty terms they offered on that particular sale, at the time. Warranty (outside of AMZ's 30-day return policy) terms are not posted on representative system listings, nor on their storefront.

If they offer to send you a new drive, you haven't lost anything.
