Do new SATA drives come with cables?

[Kyle]

I need to get two extra SATA drives for storage to a server we use for back ups. I am going to get two Seagate 7750gb drives but i need to know if they come with the SATA cables or do i need to buy them separate?

You'll need to buy SATA cables separately (I generally get mine off eBay). They're pretty much all the same, although I found our Dell server needed fancy right-angled connectors, the normal straight ones wouldn't fit.

If anyone wants some SATA cables I have a rather large bag of them... A reasonable contribution to charity would suffice if anyone is interested.

7.75TB drives = yum

 

Buy them if you don't have a huge bag of them to hand!

Retail boxed drives may come with them, bare and OEM drives definately won't.

SATA cables arn't expensive any way i payed between £1 and £3 for mine a few months bk
