Raptor x no sata cables or mounting screws????

[imported_goldlight]

Okay,so I picked up a raptor x 150 gb today...
And can you believe that it did not come with an sata cable or mounting screws???!!!!

I think that that is extremely weird(but it is a full moon)!!
Anyone else have this problem????

Also earlier today,it was still posted as $169.00 on the best buy website.I called the store and asked them if they could hold one for me.They were mean and said no.When I arrived at the store to buy the drive...it was listed as $203.00????

I went online to show them the price,but it was changed to $199.00..weird.Plus,they said that the 15% off was already taken off the price.Good thing that I showed them the AT forum...I got it for $169.99!!

But now...no sata cable or mounting screws?????Anyone else have this problem???
Also,how do I set up the raptor to sit vertically in my case????(I have an armor junior case)

usually mainboard comes with SATA cables, case comes with mounting screws and PSU with power connectors

wrong forum aside, there was a thread, i think in OT, about how BB websites in-store refer to an internal server with different pricing.

Cables come with your mobo. Screws come with your case.


No problems mounting vertically here. If a drive has an issue with this config it should say so clearly.

the retail raptor x drive I got from best buy 6 weeks or so ago came with the blue Western Digital "secure connect" sata cable that fits the WD drive socket. its a more secure fit and less likely to snap off the small sata connector on the drive. I dont remember if it had screws or not
