do I need an adapter cable with power supply to clone my laptop or desktop HDD or the included cable will do just fine?

As I answer, remember... my hard drive got wiped. Make certain you switch your hard drive to "slave" status if you haven't already. Otherwise, you should be OK.

To clone laptop HDD; usually use USB to SATA 3or 2 connector. USB will power SSD and transfer data. To clone desktop HDD; usually use empty HDD slot with empty power cable to power SSD. Then clone desktop HDD with provided software or other cloning software.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

No the power cable is attached to your power supply the data cable should come with your motherboard or will need to be purchased seperately

This should work for the power supply or the data support port have not change. You should be good.

Is it a desktop? I needed a SATA power source in my PC I just built for the SSD but not in my laptop.

My unit came with a power adapter and works fine with both IDE and SATA devices. I am very pleased with it's performance. Some people leave them connected permanently but I do not do this.

Drive and driver software no cables you will need to get a sata adapter if you are installing on a desktop, if you are putting it into a laptop then it just goes right in

It takes a standard SATA power cable. Your power supply probably already has these (they look like little black connectors with a slit in them). If it doesn't, and you only see white connectors with holes in them (MOLEX connectors) you can purchase an adapter for it.

You need both power cable and SATA Cable. This kit will solve all your problems. "Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter With Power Supply & LED Activity Lights (EC-AHDD)" or this link: Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

Yes it will be fine if it is replacing the main hard drive. I am seeing from another answer that Dell laptops might have issues if it is going to to be a secondary drive in certain models. It is just the hard drive in the package and nothing else to transfer or clone the hard drive you have now.

The device uses a standard SATA port. I personally don't really like the device and am planning on getting a better more costly version. It worked for me once...and not a couple of other times when i tried to clone with it.

No, it is basically a plug-in replacement for a laptop drive. If you need a cable, you will have to buy one.

You can order an adapter easier. Check Amazon for a 800 to 400 They are so cheap and easier to carryI was looking into this myself except I have a few three port external HDs and I just use that set upEasy either way. The cables will recognize... I do it all the time in the above situation.

Yes it will work... BUT Attention: If your laptop/original adapter requires higher power (Watt) compared to the power stated above, please DO NOT buy this adapter.

Yes The cable you need is provided along with the Anker HD enclosure unit. Worked perfectly for me. You could still use the cable to connect the old SSD as an external drive, so it's not necessarily a one-time use.

I just installed it in my daughter's Toshiba laptop last night with the same series of laptop you mention. Just don't lose the screws when you take the other hard drive out. I am assuming that you will clone the original to it. Or load an OS with it. Either way my daughter is up and running all day just fine!

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.
