Cable Matters 3-Pack Straight SATA Cable - 18 Inch, SATA III 6Gbps Data Cable for SSD, HDD, CD/DVD Drives, Hard Drive, Optical Drive, Gaming PC, Desktop, Motherboard, Black

What a difference a cable makes. Years ago when I worked at Network Products, we had an informal paradigm that all network problems were wire problems. My hard-drive issues in my PC also turned out to be due to bad SATA cables, if you can believe it. Such a simple, unremarkable component. How do they even go bad?Regardless, these are great. I bought them for their length, and importantly, their included snap attachment connectors on BOTH ends of the cable to make sure they're securely attached to PC & HDD SATA interfaces. I am SUPER GLAD I did that. That was a smart move. Buy these, instead of the ones with the secure connector at only one end. I'm happy, I think you will be too.

Simple and straight forward SATA cables, quality looked and felt good and they have performed well. I have had them in a secondary Plex server where I needed additional drives setup and have had no issues with them. Good value for your money overall with these cables.

I needed extra SATA cables and didn't want to overpay for any branding but also didn't want cables that were no-name and too cheap. These guys are durable and get the job done. They weren't too stiff and provided a good amount of range and flexibility. Lock-on mechanism was alright too, nothing to write home about but it hasn't failed. Will definitely buy from Cable Matters again.

So far working. Bought two packages and both did not have the hook and loop cable management straps that are shown in the pictures and description.

Quality item. Does its job!

New Review: These Cables are PERFECT!!! No Loss in speed at all after running some benchmark test!!! They clearly preform just fine!!! Glad they spoke up and have me try a test before I buttoned my system back up!!! 5 STARS!!!! Great Product!!!! Great Price!!! Must have been a glitch on my end during a boot. Nice tight fit and lock on both the ASUS Motherboard and on the Hard Drive!!!Old Review: These are not SATA 6 cable's, of course the description says they are SATA 3 cable's. I tried my cables I already had for my ASUS system on a new hard drive and they move data so much faster than these cable's do. It's alright, I'll just use it on my DVD drive. But I researched the difference between SATA 6 cable's and SATA III cable's and they say there isn't any. I'll just say, with my new 3 terabyte Western Digital Black, if I put these cable's on it I have about a minute and a half boot up time, but with my original ASUS cable I am fully booted into Windows 10 in about 30 seconds. Same drive, different cable's, I really don't understand why this is that way?

Works great.

I built a mini ITX PC and I needed a straight SATA cable, most have an L-shape bend on one side, and for my setup I needed both sides to be straight. This kit worked perfectly and it comes with 3 in the package. My SSD drives are connected and working perfectly now, I would recommend this kit.
