Upgrade to SSD Dell 3847

Hey there, looking to upgrade to a SSD.  Would this be the cable that I need?

Any other parts needed?  Thanks!

No, the cable you linked to, is for a discrete external hard drive.

To is install an internal SSD, you need a SATA data cable similar to the cables shown here:

There should be a spare SATA power connector inside the case for an additional hard drive, if required.

You also require a 2.5 Inch HDD/SSD Mounting Kit For 3.5" Drive Bay, similar to the bracket shown here:
