What cable(s) do I need for a Samsung SSD 840 Evo ?

Hi,

A week ago I bought a Samsung 840 evo SSD. I just opened it and noticed that it only came with the SSD and the magician software without any cables. Now my question is what cables do I need to buy for the SSD (a SATA cable?). Also could you please link me to a website with the cables.

Thank You

Yes, you need an SATA cable and you can try Newegg.com or your local computer store for them.

a SATAIII cable. be sure to buy a SATAIII cable and connect it to a SATAIII port or you won't be able to enjoy maximum performance.
The (unconfirmed) difference between a sata2 and sata3 is the (metal)clips which ensures the connection of the cable to the port

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies but how do I know if my pc supports SATA III ?
My mobo is an MSI Z87 G45 Gaming.

Edit: I also live in the UK, sorry for not mentioning.

Best regards
