ok. 2018-11-04: sata SSD - I found the sata + power cable in the box, and mounted the sata SSD in the BeeBox-S case. There is limited space, so I had to unscrew and take out the adapter that the sata SSD is fastened to, both to fit two of the screws and to fit the sata cable. Afterwards, putting the BeeBox-S box together was tight, but careful placing of the sata cables helped.
