What cables will I need for WD SATA HDD

Solution
You need two -- one SATA power connector (like THIS) from your PSU or if a *very* old PSU you may need a Molex to SATA power adapter.

And you also need a SATA data cable to attach the drive to a SATA port on the motherboard. (I could not see a picture to indicate whether the drive ships with a data cable, but I would suspect not for the "component boxed" version. They are quite inexpensive, and look like THIS.
