If anyone could point me in the right directions regarding the best cable, that would be brilliant

Thanks

As your drives are all SATA based, I dont think there are master and slave differences anymore and all the cables should be supplied by the Asus motherboard you got.

Edit: the P5B Deluxe is suppose to come with 6 SATA cables, more than enough for your hard drives and DVD writer

Thanks for the quick comment.

Is there any real difference between the standard cables and the ones you can buy from OcUK??

They are all the same mate.

Thanks for that.
