1. Yes, it requires sata connectors.
2. Should be able to fit in Lenovo G500. It's tiny. I have never tried though.

So i will buy the SSD and install it in place of current one.right ? Do i need special cables for it ?

Hey noob
get SanDisk SSD plus 120 GB
its cheap and is super fast as an OS drive.

I was so impressed by its performance that I bought another one.
Now both my desktops have an SSD.

Yeah. If you are using a SATA HDD then you have all the cables you need.

Hi [MENTION=95904]noob[/MENTION],

The upgrading of storage part, it's all depend on the SSD thickness and compatibility with the MOBO. Mostly, all mobile 2.5 inch SSD models come with 7mm thickness, Larger capacity would be thicker, as with most manufacturers.

Just a suggestion, the pick of the SSD, it all depends on your fund, because SSDs are costly; however they are worth every penny. The variation between cheaper SSDs and more costly ones that have similar capacity is their write speeds. Costly ones are usually 540MB/s write speeds while inexpensive ones go up to around 250MB/s write speeds only. Read speeds however, are the same.
