• no and no. I used some velcro tape to mount the drive, and free software called "Reflect" and had no problems. You will also need a spare cable

• to answer your questions= no and no. this is an external drive with a usb 3.0 cable interface, what you need is an internal sata drive 3.5 mm, and paragon hard disk manager 2015, look for their website. you can migrate your Os nicely and quickly

• It does not include a mounting bracket for a 3.5 bay. You will have to download the cloning software but it works very well.

• Yes it should work fine in any SATA motherboard, but no it doesn't come with a mounting kit or imaging software ( but there are a few good freeware applications out there)

• You would need to purchase additional mounting hardware to securely mount in a desktop. No migration software is provided.

• Generally, SSD drives don't include either a mounting bracket for desktops or cloning software. Best Buy does sell a "Solid State Drive Conversion Kit" (search for it on their site), which includes both, plus a SATA cable, a USB-to-SATA adapter, screws, and a screwdriver. They also sell just the mounting brackets, and you can find open source cloning software online, like Clonezilla, or free versions of cloning software from Macrium or Easus.
