SSD Bare drive or Desktop Kit?

[TopazBrandon]

I'm building my first PC and the bare drive is cheaper, but with no cords that come with it how does it work? Someone said your motherboard provides the cods for an SSD.

You only need the desktop kit if your case has no 2.5" mounts. Honestly it's an SSD, if you don't have 2.5" mounts you could just leave the SSD hanging 

 

Yes motherboards come with SATA cables

Your motherboard provides SATA cables. (Usually 2)

And most Drives are bare...

Your motherboard provides the SATA connectors for the drives. Your PSU provides the power needed to run the drives.

Just get the bare drive. I have a couple 2.5" to 3.5" drive adapters (is that what you call them?) and I've never used them. As people have already mentioned, SATA cables come with your motherboard, and power cables come from your PSU.

My uncle bought one.

 

It comes with two SATA cables.

 

Where I am a SATA cable at the store is 6 bucks, so you're pretty much getting a free mobo

You only need the desktop kit if your case has no 2.5" mounts.

 

 

That depends on brand/model. My HyperX 3K base kit came with adapter. Which I didn't need as my case already had adapter for 2.5'' to 3.5'' to 5.25''. I understand that some Samsung models come only with screws. Most desktop bundles have cloning software etc. included. That's the main difference.

A bare drive is fine, your motherboard comes with a sata connector in the box.
