From looking at photos online, it looks as if you do not need any cables. The connector for the ssd is already attached to the motherboard to the left of the battery. However, If your laptop doesn't have a drive already installed in that spot, there is a possibility there is no bracket to hold the ssd in place. In this case, you would have to remove the foam padding in the spot where the ssd would be and either buy a bracket or use double sided tape to attach the drive securely. Also, don't forget to disconnect the battery AFTER opening the laptop, BEFORE attaching the ssd. Also don't forget to reattach the battery cable when finished. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Judging by MSIs website the computer only has 2 M.2 slots I'm not sure if a full sized SSD is capable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need both a SATA cable that connects to the mother board (photo 1) You also will need a power connector which normally is available on your power supply (photo 2)
