Cable tie question

[jas07]

....Im almost embarresed to ask this because i dont think its right but none the less, ive been doing some cable management in my case, and ive put a cable tie around my sata cables and pulled it fairly tight, can this cause issues?

Since ive done it, i seem to be getting loads more HDD activity, aka i can hear more hdd activity, hdd light on a lot more..

It seems stupid to me but that is the only thing i can link it to

Yeh thats what i thought, its no where near tight enough to break the cable, they were put back in the same sata ports on the mobo too.

Quite puzzled as to whats caused it! lol
