Its SATA, just like a SATA HDD. The only thing you'll have to do differently is find a way to mount it in your case. If it comes with a 2.5 to 3.5 conversion tray then life is simple. If it doesn't, you'll need to find a creative way to mount it in your case. Lotsa people have been using velcro to keep them in place.

Very nice thank you much for that information thanks for helping. I see hmmm the case is open doors,, but I have enough room to make it hidable. My pump and rads is outside and I have no floppy drive nor internet burner.. just resevoir and iCage. plenty of room in the bottom. Can you place them externally or we dont want to do that since it will collect dust ? Thanks again burner you rock!

I wouldn't just let it sit on the inside, I would secure it especially since SSDs are a pretty hefty investment. Mine came with an "ice pack" cooler that was also a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter.

It weighs almost nothing and the orientation is completely unimportant. Really not much that can go wrong.. works fine for me since a good year
