Optiplex 7050 Tower -- upgrade from M2 SSD to 3.5" SATA 7200 RPM drive

I recently ordered a 7050 MT refurb (from Dell) and it comes with a smaller capacity M2 SSD drive.  It hasn't arrived yet.

I'd like to add a 3.5" 7200 RPM SATA drive to it and I have the following questions.  Does the 7050 MT ship with:

  • 1. The (empty) 3.5" plastic drive caddy for the 7050 MT.
  • 2. A SATA power cable.
  • 3. An SATA drive cable (these may come with the new hard drive, so this is the least of my concerns).

The salesperson gave me a good deal on the unit, and I'd like to make sure I have these components on-hand so I can get to work immediately on it -- rather than waiting a few days for the parts to arrive.

So to recap, does anyone know if these are still come standard on a 7050 MT which ships originally just with an M2 SSD?

Thanks!

pfbram,

The system would only come with the m2ssd drive.  You can purchase the bracket P/N 0CW33 from the Dell Spare Parts. Also, the SATA cable as well.
