    Hello,I ordered the wd caviar black 1tb (oem) and the antec mx-1 and I would like to know what cables do I need to purchase in order to mount the hd in the antec and use it. Do I need a sata cable?

    You don't need anything. It comes with all that is needed.
    If you want USB, just connect it to your USB port.
    If you want to connect it via eSATA, then you need to use the included eSATA bracket to make an internal SATA port into an eSATA port. eSATA cable is included also.
    In both scenario's, you will need to use the AC adapter also.
