    Does anyone know if the hard drive carrier assembly listed on Dells website for $11 include all necessary screws, pins, cables etc? I looked at the description and it doesnt say what all is included. On other websites I've seen these drive carriers for over $25 but they show all the necessary parts included for that price.

    this is the page I looked at on Dells web site for the Hard drive carrier to add a second hard drive to my Studio 17.

    would this include the cable etc that I need?

    Thankyou,

    All that looks like is included, is the bracket itself. For screws many forum users, have taken two screws out of your first hard drive bracket, and used those for their second one. The cable "is" included, because the hard drive is directly connected to the SATA port. $11 is not a bad price, I know some companies charge around ~$20 just for the bracket.
