is this a complete retail package with installation instructions, cable, boxed etc. or actually a bare drive ?

It came with a cable and the booklet on how to install, cl9ne, and wipe the drive. I had bought an extra 6gb sata cable just in case but was surprised when it was in the box

It has all of the above. The instructions say hook up and install the operating system.

The drive I got was a bare drive so it came with nothing extra.You usually pay more for one as a retail package with install disc and all.

Really??? it means no cable, no software, etc... just the drive (fully assembled)...

Yes - everything is included; all you need is a good USB port and an electrical receptacle on the one hand and your 100MB disc on the other.

It comes with all the software you need to do anything with the drive. That is if you get the retail box and not the oem version which is bare bones drive.

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.

If it's the same one that I have, it's a disk. It's a full version of the software with disk and key inside the box.

I don't remember any. It is all on the drive. All I had to do was plug it in and it was recognized. Win7 64. Probably get it off of Seagate's web site too.

Manual yes. I only got two sata wires. Plus the disk. Simple to install. The only thing that I had to download off the internet is was the drivers for the usb 3.0

The disk has the drivers in it. The disk comes in the packaging when you receive the cable. The disk is small, its not the regular size disk. When I received my cable the disk was in between the carboard insert. I loaded it and it worked perfectly. I hope this help.

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

Yes, SATA data cable and SATA power adapter are included, along with software. You should not need to buy any additional cables or software. Does not come with screws/fasteners. However, some others here say they only received a bare drive without cables or software. Odd. It didn't come in retail packaging, but it came with everything needed.

The one I bought included an external drive, cable, and cloning software. Short answer, it was the kit

The $55.00 one does not come with any software or cables at all, all you get is a OEM drive tossed in a box.

It comes in a slim package, with the drive packed in foam. There is no stand to hold the drive on edge as there is with some other slim-line drives. There is a USB cable with dual USB Type A plugs for the computer/laptop connection, but my drive seems to run fine with only the main one connected. The installation CD includes PowerDVD 3D, LG Burning Tool, Power2Go, PowerProducer, MediaShow, MediaEspresso, and USBFast. I don't use all of these (or even most of them), so I can't say which ones are demo versions. Remember, this is a BD-ROM/DVD-Rewriter. It won't record Blu-Ray discs.

Its strictly a DVD drive. And no discrete graphics card. Its integrated shared memory type only.

Yes, cables included. The only thing that wasn't included with mine was the USB to sata cable used for backing up the drive to be replaced. I easily worked around this because I have two bays in my laptop. Great buy. Totally recommended. Still no problems whatsoever!
