does this come with the SATA cable since it comes in the retail box and is it compatible with windows 8? I was in Frys today looking at the same product and on that box it said cable was included and it was compatible with windows 8.

It has been a long time since I have gotten this item. I don't remember if it did or not, and so I'm not able to help you with that. It does say in the description that it comes with a sata cable and a molex to sata power connector and so I believe it does. This drive replaced a defective WH14NS40 14x drive that I got earlier.

No, it is a bare bones drive. I ordered a SATA cable separately from amazon.

What kind of drive you plugging in, SATA or ATA? Before you plug it into USB everything must be all connected including being plugged into the AC. Then you must turn both switches on, then you plug it into your PC. I have Windows 7 64 bit as well, recognizes everything I throw at it.

Using in a a desktop now and it works great. you just need the sata data and power cables and a mounting adapter.

The device uses a standard SATA port. I personally don't really like the device and am planning on getting a better more costly version. It worked for me once...and not a couple of other times when i tried to clone with it.

it comes only with a red sata cable not power. Their should be one in your computer case.

Yes two SATAIII cables are included. One has 90 degree ends and one has straight ends. The cables are black with locking ends and are decent quality cables. For future reference every motherboard with the exception of the cheapest budget motherboards come with at least one SATA cable. While most hard drives and optical readers don't include SATA cables.

There is a similar product for a SATA drive at a reasonable price. I used one and a good SATA drive from a dead (motherboard) PC to give my son some extra game system storage.

You need a standard SATA cable, not E-SATA cable up to level 3.0. you only need to order one that's long enough for your installation.

Dear Jen Unfortunately, I didn't use SATA Yet Because I don't have a Device with this plug. I only use USB 3.0, and my Operating System is Windows 8.1.

The only difference between Re-seller and OEM is the Sata III cable. OEM comes with it, re-seller does not usually.

Mine did not. If you are replacing a sata drive you can reuse that cable. If you are building a new system most motherboards come with atleast 2 sata cables.

I dont remember but I think This unit comes alone no cable, no nothing you just need a regular sata cable http://www.amazon.com/CNE11445-SATA-Data-Cable-2pk/dp/B001O4EPHA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1392267617&sr=1-1&keywords=sata+cable... this unit only reads it doesnt write. I have 2 or 3 years with it, and its still working fine. I have seen 200+ movies on it.

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.
