Question 1

SATA cable included or not?

Accepted Answer

The cable is NOT included. Just the SSD and an optional spacer to make it fit more snugly in larger spaces since the device is so thin.

The speed for the price is fantastic! Wonderful laptop upgrade from a mechanical drive, as long as you don't need much storage.

Question 2

Does this device come with a plastic 3.5 adapter and sata cable?

I see reports, it does not have anything but the drive, can that be correct?  The 3.5 inch drive adapters are quality cheap shipping protectors.

Accepted Answer

No Adapter
No Cable
I have a 3.5 drive drawer but I was still able to get the smaller drive to work by lining it up just right.

Question 3

I have my parent's old Acer q6600 intel core 2 quad processor computer. It has mostly stock pieces with 2 graphics cards and a 1000W pcu, idk why. I'm putting an SSD in it and overclocking it to get me through college and light gaming (720p). The motherboard is, PCI Express and FSB 1333. That's about all I could see on the motherboard.

My question is, are all SSD's, most importantly this one I am considering purchasing & samsung 3d v-nand, compatible with my computer?

Accepted Answer

All SSD drives will work in a desktop computer. However you will need a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket adapter to mount it in the case. Newegg has several brands to choose from. 
I think to remember about any SSD is that it has a limited number of write cycles available. So, you want to buy one with lots of free drive space as continuous write and erase of a small free space area will quickly wear it out.
Once you experience the performance difference you will never be happy with a spinning drive.

Question 4

Is it possible to purchase a builder's version of Operating System with this hardware purchase? It is my understanding that a builder's version of OS can be purchased with any hardware purchase at a substantially discounted price. Is that correct?

Accepted Answer

If I remember right I tried to to a similar thing but I needed to "qualify" so good luck sir. I would call product support directly
