Need help with SATA Cables please!

[PooBrain]

I am buying an OEM HDD and was just wondering which 90 degree angle cable should i get that has the angle part fit into the back of the HDD. Is it left or right?

Thanks!

If you have clearance above and below the HDD then it doesn't really matter which.

Depends where you have it mounted, orientation of HDD, is motherboard connector above or below...

In most cases it would probably be right-angled one

SATA connectors may be straight, right-angled, or left angled. Angled connectors allow lower profile connections. Right-angled (also called 90 degree) connectors lead the cable immediately away from the drive, on the circuit board side. Left-angled (also called 270 degree) connectors lead the cable across the drive towards its top.
