Samsung 850 Pro - 256gb

I am now waiting for my new Samsung SSD to arrive, after headaches keeping my OCZ-Agility 3 120gb, as it sometimes doesnt like to boot up properly

What I want to know is are there any cables etc I need to have ready for the arrival? Didnt want to have it and not be able to use it because there is x cable that I needed

Was planning to keep hold of my current SSD, and also my HDD that I am using for the big data and all my games

It uses the same cables as the OCZ so it should be fine.

If I plan on keeping the OCZ drive, will I need to buy another cable?

if you don't have any spare, yes.

any SATA cable will do.

Im not sure if I have any spare cables, as I have not had to change my HDD setup for around 3 years now. Whats the best cable to buy for this to work perfectly?

You still have the box your motherboard came in? There should be some spare sata cables in there

If not just by the cheapest sata cable you can,it will work just as good as am expensive one

No cables in the box for sata, then again this is over 3 years old now, should have thought of this when I placed the order for the SSD tbh. Might have to rush to a computer shop and find any old sata cable, rather than having my "new toy" and not getting to test it
