“Will I need any additional cable such as a USB-SATA to connect for cloning? I have a Dell XPS 17 with dual SATA HDD bays (both running 500GB, 1TB total). Would removing one of the HDD and inserting the SanDisk in place will work for the cloning process?”

You certainly could use an external USB-Sata hub to do the cloning. But in answer to your question about cloning using the bays in your computer, I am going to assume you want to clone the boot drive, so this should work with the 2 bays and most cloning software. If for some reason you are cloning the non-bootable disk, then you will only be able to use cloning software that can boot from an external device like DVD or USB drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, just remove one HD, and then clone the main Hardrive C: to the new SSD HD. I always use Acronis to image HD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're sure the drives aren't striped together or set up in some RAID solution, then that could work. Alternatively, there are some cheap SATA to USB adapters around that would work perfectly fine with this
