Since this is the desktop pack, does it not come with the external drive adaptor like the notebook pack does?

I'm not sure about what the notebook pack is but this came with a 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapter. Hope it helps.

There is no adapter for the ssd in the package. Usually, the computer case that you buy will have an adapter or internal slot for an ssd. You can buy an adapter on Amazon for less than $5.00. Make sure screws come with it.

Mine came with a Sandisk drive. Not sure if that is just the assembly I got or the same for all of them.

No it does not, but it has plug into for a CD/DVD sleeve and plenty of power and plenty of space to store your data! I LOVE MINE!

It does NOT, as it's an OEM product (bare bones, just the drive). You can pick up a SATA data cable from amazon or one of it's 3rd party amazon marketplace sellers.

In a word, YES. The drive doesn't distinguish between Adapter card or regular SD Card.

No. SATA only. However do a search on Amazon for IDE Docking Station and you'll find one.

Errr... no. It's a Thunderbolt drive. The Thunderbolt adaptor is to connect a FW device to a TB connector on the computer.

No. I picked up an external pretty cheap. It's a little inconvenient, but it makes it lighter and more portable.

Mine didn't come with one. However the laptop promoted me to make a back up cd.

Yes, it did. (It has a mini USB that connects to the drive and two regular sized USB connectors that go into the computer.) It is a little short, though. If you need to, you may have to get an extension. I have it connected to a powered hub that is positioned just a few inches away. You should get a powered hub unless you plug it right into the computer. An unpowered hub is just not enough.

You don't This is meant to be an internal drive for a desktop computer and doesn't come with the necessary cabling to interface with a USB port on your laptop. There are sata to USB adapters you can purchase but it is an added expense. Retry. The drive and get an external DVD burner and you will not have as much equipment to haul around and easier to use

For a laptop, I'd ask around for an external hard drive that shuts off when it is Ejected. I have to shutdown my desktop to get the external HD to turned off so I can safely unplug it.Yes, the one I got at Best Buy came with USB cord. Running Windows 7 my USB 2.0 port was compatible.

Yes, it does.However, it's a trial version good for 90 days (I believe), I un installed it and installed my own copy with the help of a micro usb to female usb adapter and a full size thumb drive.

Yes. I am using the adapters both ways. I have 2 desktops and one I use a SATA to IDE adapter to run a CD/DVD/BD drive and on the other one I use a IDE to SATA adapter with a similar drive.

I'm not sure if they have a version that does have this. However, I have this model and don't see one in the computer device manager.
