ok apparently circuit city nor officemax carry sata cables, which is gay. also i got the drive with zero cables and nothing else. just the drive.

after doing research on wd's website, i do in fact need the sata data cable for it to work. the cable that powers it is the sata power cable, which my computer had the 2nd link for it which is why it runs and what have you. also, dunno about the whole master/slave jink, but neither drive has the plugs to pin it with. so hopefully i don't get fucked for that.
