Greetings @Shimotaki 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

I would imagine your PC's MB has some available SATA data connections.

 

And your PC's power supply should have at least one daisy chained SATA power cable.

 

You need a standard SATA data cable, easily purchased: online, or at a local PC component outlet, or a PC repair shop, to send data to and from the 2.5 inch SSD.

 

Check this Video on how to install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in a Desktop PC.

 

This Site explains how to initialize a new disk being used as a data drive..

 

Regards
