Question 1

Does this come with the cables to install it? And is this for Laptops vs. a PC?

Accepted Answer

All SSD come with a SATA interface, which is supported by PCs, Laptops, Macbooks, and Apple Desktops models since 2002 (approximately).    None of the SSD brands I have ever bought (from many different brands) came with a SATA power cable (which connects the SSD to the motherboard), and none came with a SSD data cable (also connecting to the motherboard).    Some SSD used to come with a metal or plastic adapter to mount the SSD (2.5") into a PC (typically 3.5").   If you buy the SSD to replace an existing disk, you don't need cables.   If you buy it to  replace or add a SATA disk to a PC, you may need cables and adaptor.   Cables and adapters may cost around $1.00 to $4.00 each (in some cases, plus shipping).
