    Went ahead and ordered it and as its OEM no cables etc. I don't have the box to hand as fitting it for a relative, but does the box come with all cables or is it a trip to PCW?

    Is should have all cables included

    You'll need a couple of screws though.

    There is an update imminent which is meant to fix the HDD detection issues.

    If you have to buy a sata cable, I'd recommend you buy one with right angled connectors. It should just fit between the two capacitors.

    Otherwise others have suggested heating the end with a hair dryer so that you can mould the cable so that it does not have pressure on it.

    Hi
    I have just joined the forum. I have my TM800 HD with sata cable only not power cable for hard disk. I have 2.5 inch seagate hard disk. I open the box and find a connector for SATA cable but could not find anything for power cable from hard disk to tm800. if there is no connector for power how i will power the hard disk. any sugestions to fit the internal hard drive to TM800 HD ? Please
    Thanks in advance
