[Leica] Computer Question

Tina,

I use a similar SSD rather than a hard disk on my PC at work and it would 
also 
work in a an empty bay.  You would need the adapter plate shown on the 
Amazon 
link if you have a 3.5" bay,  and a SATA cable if you don't have an extra 
one of 
those.  Spare bays are usually wired with a power cable.  If not then a "Y" 
adapter can be used,
