Product Manuals

Q: Why did they design this in such a way that you cannot plug it in next to a SATA power cable because the rubber ends of this cord are too thick? How are you actually supposed to use this with any modern hard drive?

A: I found the same issue when I went to install mine and ended up using a knife to cut a bit off the side of this connector's end. Seems to work fine after that. SATA cables are not something I read reviews for before I go shopping so hopefully others do...

Q: can this connect to a Seagate - Barracuda 2TB Internal SATA Hard Drive?

A: You can connect your Serial ATA hard drive to your motherboard using this cable.

Q: Is this a good replacement for a connection inside a tower desktop? To connect the hard drive to the motherboard? Is it long enough?

A: Yes....that's 2 foot

Q: Is this optional for an SSD?

A: It depends. If you are adding an SSD as an extra drive, you will need another SATA cable (this). If you are replacing a current hard drive with an SSD, you just use your old SATA connection (you don't need a new cable).

Q: Will this cable work with a micro atx motherboard or not?

A: Yes, this cable will work.

Q: Is this a 6 Gbps cable ???

A: The short answer is no, 3Gbps is written right on the package. The longer answer is it doesn't really matter. Just search online for SATA II vs SATA III. The benchmarks show little if any difference between SATA II (3Gbps) and SATA III (6Gbps) cables. So while the packaging says it's 3Gbps (SATA II), SATA III isn't faster. (Caveat: the article I'm citing does say it's possible that the cable technology has just vastly outrun the consumer hard drive technology, so their tests may be simply showing that hard drives aren't able to truly take advantage of 6Gbps bandwidths yet.)

Q: I'm confused.... SATA 1 is 1.5Gb/s, Sata 2 is supposed to be 3Gb/s... so what is this cable? SATA1 or 2?

A: SATA data cables are all backwards compatible. It is SATA I, II, AND III (1.5 to 6gbps depending on your devices and controllers). Your speed will default back to the lowest common denominator in regards to what you're connecting it to. Read my review for why I returned Insignia cables.

Q: I am trying to get all my old data off of my ata hard drive (harddrive made in 2005, desktop). What interconnection cable can I use to put this data on my new desktop? I am knowledgeable about older computers and swoping hard drives. Thank you!!

A: Bestbuy has the hard drive converters that can transform any desktop drive into an external drive.

Works, but.....
The cable has a small flaw. You have to shave off the side a bit so it will fit next to the power clip. It is such an easy fix. But if you do not want to shave off the side, don't buy this cable. You can see in the picture below how it fits perfectly after shaving off a little bit of the side.

Nice cable. Good price. One tiny flaw.
I had a $5 coupon and needed a SATA cable, so I bought this. It works. The tiny flaw is on the right angle plug. The plastic housing flares out by the sides of the plug. The SATA tab on internal hard drives is flush against the power tab. The power connector pushes against the flared side on the SATA, causing it not to plug straight, but skewed. It cracked the plastic on the plug. But it still works. I will try to cut off the part that sticks out so it will plug straight. Don't know why it's made this way.

llength ok, connections firm
The only serial cable in the store was in the Apple section. The length was a snug fit between the MB and SSD. The ends made a firm connection with the contacts. the cable is working properly. Check the length of the cable for your needs.
