The Intel 915 Cipset supports up to 4 SATA Drives
If you buy a SATA Drive, it won't come with anything - you will need to have a SATA Cable (usually supplied with the motherboard) and make sure that you have a power supply that has a SATA Connector - This is a black L-Shaped connector
They do make a converter to go from regular power supply connection to SATA if your power supply doesn't have a SATA power connector

ya surely just use the bus cable that is used to connect your old HDD and the same power cord if it doesnt work go out for a connector or check with a service agent, there shouldnt be any problem becos many compter ads give the config 915motherboard and 80GB SATA HDD, so try it out
