Q: QuestionWhat cables do i need in order to connect this to my computer?

Asked 4 years ago by Shadowfluff.

• A:Answer Hello Shadowfluff, The Barracuda Drives have SATA 6Gb/s interfaces, it means you'll need a SATA cable to connect this hard drive to your motherboard. One end of the SATA cable will plug into your new hard drive, and the other needs to go to a SATA port on your motherboard. Regards, Zac Seagate Support

Q: QuestionWill this work with a custom built PC?

Asked 5 years ago by Dane.

• A:Answer Yes, this is it’s main use as an internal hard drive for a custom PC. Your computer will need a location to mount it and a SATA data cable coming from the computer motherboard and a sata power cable coming from the power supply. If your power supply does not have a sata power connector there is usually unused molex power connectors that can be converted to a sata power connector with a jumper cable

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with HP 9300 Elite Touchscreen all in one desktop?

Asked 5 years ago by Khan.

• A:Answer According to the literature, this computer takes a 2.5" SSD drive. If so, no. If there's room for a 3.5" full size SATA drive, which the specs don't mention, then you have to check and see if there's an open SATA connector on the motherboard and an extra power supply for it. It's doubtful based on the size of the all in one unit. In short, probably not.
