Question:

Do I need to buy any cables for my HDD?

I am building my first computer and i was going to order a 750GB HDD to back up a 60GB SSD but it is a bare drive. Are there any cables/cords/connectors that i need to buy or should they all come with the motherboard?

Answer:

as long as the hard drive is compatible and you have the data and power cable for the two you should be fine
Most motherboards come with1 or 2 SATA cables. Keep in mind that this may not always be true.
power cables are with the power supply. Motherboards usually come with 2 or more sata data cables
