Same thing as the SSD you had in your last topic. Sata cable and Sata power cable (which should be on your power supply)

you need a PSU and a SATA cable, you can get both at Newegg.

 

^you probably already have the PSU...

 

An alternative would be to pickup a USB dock for HDDs.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

You need a system with an open SATA port, or you can also get an external hard drive enclosure to put the drive in, which would also work. If you're just intending to use the drive as is, you need an open SATA port and also power for the drive. If this is a laptop hard drive, you can usually just connect it to the laptop, depending on your configuration of course.

Hi there :)

 

As I suggested in your other topic it really depends on what storage drive you are talking about and where you'd like to use it. 

 

What's the model of that 2TB WD drive and where/how you'd like to use it (internally in a desktop/laptop or externally)?

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^
