   No, they're a discrete part that gets slotted into an existing empty   
   slot in the PC, or replaces the existing HDD.  Just plug in the SATA and   
   power cables, and you're done.   
      
   There is not, nor has there ever been a route where you physically open   
   up a HDD, replace its guts with "SSD Guts", and end up with an SSD.   
      
   Unless, of course, the entire premise here is that CtrlAltDel is calling   
   his PC Tower the "HDD".
