does this come ready to install into a computer eg the SATA cable and pins for bracket?

This comes as you see it in the photo, if you are swapping it with a laptop you don't need anything else. If you are going to install it in a desktop, you will need a mounting kit which comes with everything you need.

does this come with the adapter plate?

I bought a bare drive, there was a plastic spacer item that did not need used in my Lenovo laptop PC. There was a small fol out leafet with a link to download cloning software. No adapter plate.

Crucial website says this comes with a 9.5mm adapter but other people on here say it doesnt. Does anybody know for certain ? thanks

Most of the answers are wrong because they're confusing 9.5mm adapter with 3.5" adapter. And it doesn't help that the question incorrectly uses "adapter" when they mean "spacer". Because that's what they mean. Anyways: 1) Yes, the ones I bought all came with a small plastic spacer frame that you can fit against the underside to make this 7mm thick ssd fit more snug into 9.5mm thick bays. 2) No, they don't come with a 2.5 to 3.5" adapter as those are significant brackets that you buy separately. Now, some brackets come as kits that include an ssd. This isn't one of those, this is just an ssd. The vast majority of ssd are sold this way - i.e. just as ssd and not as part of a kit.

The technical info states that lithium ion batteries are required. I thought it used a spare power cable from the desktop power supply. What is the ac

I replaced an existing SSD in my PC and it just uses a standard PC power supply cable. Easy to install and has worked well since I installed it.
