 Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2008 4:42 pm Post subject: Hard drives. |
 |
|
I have a samsung hard drive which I want to connect to my PC, But I threw away the cables it came with (long story).
my current HDD is 70 gig. The one I can't connect is 160 gig, I'm running out of space on the 70 gig and I really need the 160 gig >_<!
does anyplace sell the cables needed to connect it?

If you have a Fry's near you, they have almost any part for a computer that you would need.
Fry's Electronics
Don't waste your time going to regular computer stores, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. are useless for things like this.

Ahh, so should I take the hard drive and just ask if they have everything I need to connect it? 
Edit : What's your estimate on what the cables will cost?

| What kind of cable, SATA? Probably not more than ten dollars. Any real electronics store will have stuff like that.

yeah just go to a near electronics store/computer store in your area, if they dont have them (for any crazy reason) you can always try the trusty web  like Ebay! , or things like moding pc websites PerformancePC is a good one.

It's the bottom one.
I'm taking a guess 'cause I know it's not the top one, but who knows... I can't check right now because it's in the bay and my PC is right in the corner with plugs and shit don't wanna move it.

| Well when you go to buy the cable, just know whether it's Parallel or Serial ATA so you know what to get at the store.
