Does your motherboard has a SATA cable spot there?

What brand is your computer?

What model is your computer?

I'll look up the OEM motherboard specs and see if it has SATA comparability.


Also, you should have gotten a SATA cable with the drive... But you can grab one HERE for cheap...

Or instead an internal IDE to SATA conversion board...
