“Do I need to get a sata data cable and power cable to use this ssd? If so do I need specific sata cables or can I take some from an old computer?”

• This drive needs Sata power and Sata data cable. OR you could put it in a laptop with the correct connectors OR a USB Sata external dock.

• This drive uses the same connections as a SATA drive. If you are replacing the current drive, you don't need any additional cables. If you are adding this as a second drive, you may need an additional data cable. The desktop power supply should have multiple power connections available.

• You should be able to use the existing SATA and power cable (unless you have 4 Pin LP4, then you will need SATA Power Cable Adapter C LP4 to SATA). Here is the link. https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATA-Power-Cable-Adapter/dp/B00009YFTI I hope this helps.
