Q: Does it come with the required sata cable.

I have MANY SSD's in MANY older laptops and in MANY 2.5" USB drive cases, and have never had to worry about a SATA cable. For laptops and such USB cases, you just slide the drive as is, into the SATA interface pins -- it only will go one way, and you're done. If you're going to install this 2.5" form factor drive into a desktop or tower machine, you should get a kit to do so. It should come with proper adapters and the needed SATA cable for THAT specific application. I have never, ever, seen such a drive come with a SATA cable, as in the vast majority of cases, it simply isn't needed. My laptops span the 2008 to 2014 manufactured date range.

Q: Is this compatible and does it fit a late 2011 macbook pro to replace the sata disk hard drive?

Yes. The "Unibody" MacBook Pro models are compatible with a 2.5-inch (notebook) SATA drive at as much as 9.5mm thick. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-unibody-faq/macbook-pro-13-15-17-mid-2009-how-to-upgrade-hard-drive-ssd.html This Sandisk SSD is the 7mm form factor, however, I don't think it's significant because Apple uses the screw heads to hold the drive in place. You can view the installation (instructions) for free at OWC https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ -- the "Early 2011" revision is identical in procedure to your "Late 2011"

Q: Clone software available or not? desc "ssd dashboard and cloning software download (4) " would like to clone my c drive to it.

The Acronis WD Edition (a special eidtioin of Acronis Backup) did not work for me as it did not see the SanDisk drive on the USB dongle. I ended up using the full version of EaseUS Todo Backup but the free version of it would do the job as well. Both are Windows solutions but with Todo Backup you should be able to create the bootable CD/DVD on a WIndows machine then use it on anything else that will let you boot. Clonezilla is a Linux based solution that I've also used before but it's not as intuitive. You burn an ISO image to a CD/DVD or a USB stick (different version for the latter) and boot to it and follow the instructions. You create a bootable CD or DVD with Todo Backup after the Windows installation and boot to it (you may need to change your boot options in BIOS to be able to do that) with the SanDisk plugged into the USB. Choose the source drives (there's a small partition ahead of the drive C partition that you need to check), and any other partitions you created, then continue and choose the destination drive, the SanDisk. Choose "optimize for SSD" and then proceed and wait a long time (a few hours). The remaining time left indicator, like it is with many of these backup programs, will tel yo there's only 5 or 10 minutes left in the copy operation when it will take a few hours. I left mine go overnight and it was finished in the morning but in my experience, it would have taken only a few hours (I just didn't check until morning). You can continue to use the Todo Backup CD/DVD you created to back up your PC/laptop to an external hard drive for regular backup. The full (paid) version allows you to restore incremental backups so I feel it's worth the money, but if you always only make a full backup, the free one will do nothing more for you.
