First thing you need to do is ensure that your system is suitable for SATA hard drives. The motherboard needs to have a SATA controller onboard, and have sockets for the SATA drive cables. If it doesn't have those features then you will need to also purchase a SATA controller add-in card.
If the SATA sockets are already provided you may need to enable the feature in BIOS Setup.
You will need a SATA drive cable, which can be purchased from a computer store.
If your power supply unit does not already have a suitable power connector you will need to purchase a 'molex to SATA converter cable'.
That's it, really. Different data cable (SATA drives attach one drive per cable, rather than 2 as with IDE. There is no Master and Slave drive arrangement.) Different power connector, so an adapter if necessary. A controller card if it isn't onboard SATA. (Or swap the drive for an IDE one if you've purchased the wrong drive and don't want to spend more money. :)
