StarTech 18 in SATA Hard Drive Cable

There are two types of these cables, right 90 and left 90.I can't tell which is which. But, this one will route your cable downwards. This happens to work great for my application in a Gateway DX4350 UR21P. This cable is also a little more flexable than some others which makes it easier to route from the drive cage. Length is plenty long for a Mid-Tower case. The only problem I had was, Amazon charged me for "Delivery Comfirmation" mail.($8.00) ??? My question to them was "Once I get it..Why would I want to be Notified that I got it?", (for $8.00?) The Amazon Chat person said "Yes..That's why you were charged $8.00 :) (?) After several Exchanges.. he finally got it and refunded the charge. If you have ever e-mailed back and forth with tech support, you can tell when it is coming from India. Different logic, more like, none at all;( But good cable , great price.

I got four of these cables for $1.55 apiece and no shipping charges. Best Buy and other local stores were charging $20 apiece. I'd definitely recommend these if as long as you can wait a few days. The one I have connected right now is working just fine. I bought three extras at the same time just because it was worth $6 to make sure I won't get stuck next time I need a connector cable. The only thing to consider is whether you prefer to have angled or straight connectors. The angled connector on this one made it a little easier for me to run the cable straight down to the motherboard. It's a good idea to look inside your case first to make sure this will work for you.

I have always been very happy with StarTech products, and this cable is also an excellent high quality item!

I received the cable with the 90 degree angled connector shown in the illustration. The cable works. Fit on both ends was snug to the point of being difficult. I have experienced no looseness. The length was ample for my installation in a full tower case. That being said, I had assumed that the angled connector would fit with the length of the cable turned down. The cable I received was not that way. The angled connector fits into the drive in such a way that the cable is fed upward toward the top of the case. If I were installing my drives low in the case, that might be perfect. In my application, it made the installation and cable routing awkward. I will probably get around to replacing it with a conventional substitute at some point, just to keep the cabling neat. Until then, it works, and the price was right.

I ordered this due to the right angled connectors. My GPU heatsink is covering one of the SATA ports on my motherboard, making it difficult for me to utilize my last remaining port. Initially, CiTi Electronics (the seller from which I ordered) shipped me the wrong type of cable, just a standard cable with no right angled connectors. I e-mailed the customer service, got a prompt response from "Jay" and was told that they will ship me the correct type of cable immediately at no extra cost, also allowing me to keep the original SATA cable that I received. 5/5 for their customer service. As for the cable itself (the original one that was shipped to me), I'm using it in a Cooler Master HAF 922 just to test if it works. It's plenty lengthy (18 inches), and able to be routed around the side panel of my case for easy cable management. It feels sturdy but flexible and hasn't given me any problems as of yet. It performs just as well as the SATA cable that I got from Best Buy with a $20 gift card. This is 1/5 the price after shipping, and they perform identically. My WD Caviar Black HDD is still getting around a 115 MB/s read/write rate, which is excellent. If you do order this cable, which you should if you'd rather spend $4 than $20, I'd recommend using CiTi Electronics due to their quick (less than 24 hour response) customer service.

I needed a sata cable to add a 2nd HD to a Dell Optiplex 360. Wasn't crazy about what I was reading about in the reviews concerning cable failure so I ordered 2-3 from different vendors. I wasn't paying much attention to the ends but as it turns out this cable not only works well but the 90 degree bend in the cable allowed me close the case tightly when I reassembled. I.E. a straight cable placed too much strain on the cable to HD connection when I tried to put the case back.

I didn't vote on the packing because I can't remember it; I always wait a while prior to post a review to make sure the product will last more than a couple of weeks. This SATA cable is longer than expected which worked great for me!!! I opened an external hard drive and hot-wired it to the motherboard of my PC, but the SATA cables found within the external device were ridiculously short. I purchased 2 of these SATA cable and since they were long, they allowed me to reorganize the inside of my pc allowing room for air to circulate and increasing my PC performances :0)

I bought this cable thinking it could go in any computer case because I could plug the angled end into the motherboard or into the drive. Wrong! This cable is not compatible with my rather new Dell Inspiron 530. The angled end would not fit into the only available port on my motherboard. And because hard drives are screwed into the case upside down, when the angled end of the cable is connected to the drive, the case does not close. I found out that I really needed a LEFT angle SATA data cable - which is fairly uncommon. Staples, or at least the one near me, does not carry SATA data cables at all. So, I had to travel about 25 miles to a large computer store to buy a straight cable. The store also had left angle SATA cables but I decided to play it safe. The moral is be very careful about buying angled SATA data cables and make sure it will work with your case with the available ports. Can't comment on the quality of the cable because I can't use it.

数時間ほどの使用ですが問題無く使えます。 留め具が無いタイプですが、結構しっかりと接続されていて、勝手に抜け落ちたりは無いように感じました。

Loved the service, but here is what I felt : Pros : 1. Quality pieces 2. Good Customer support Cons : 1. Packing is very very poor.

Cables sata muy buenos, sobre todo en la parte que tiene un angulo de 90º y permite conectar la parte del disco duro sin tener que doblar el cable.

Ideal for many systems, this flat SATA cable can connect to your ports, no matter how awkward they are to get to. The flat cable ensures you get a good flow of cool air through your system - they can be curled to keep the cable shorter & prevent trailing cables all around the tower. The right angle (90°) plug at one end allows you to connect to your SATA port even in tight corners. It is truly a "Plug'n'Play" cable, allowing you to have the faith that it will work from the first installation. Also, the red colour gives a nice look if you have a windowed tower with LED's inside, like I do ;)

no soy un experto informatico, pero compre un disco duro interno para montarlo en mi equipo y este cable ha cumplido perfectamente su cometido.
