SATA Cables - Which?

rhysduck · 1 Nov 2009 at 11:40

Have 2x SATAII hdd's on the way.

I was just wondering what sata cable's would be most sufficient for them? I'd prefer one's that a "clipable" , IE its secure on the hdd's sata port.
I've had too many problems in the past with cables being knocked out by the slightest of touches.

Cheers, Rhys

It really doesn't matter, all of them is +/- same. If you want one with clips, then look at A.C.Ryan brand (i have many SATA cables from them), unfortunately it seems OcUK doesn't have them.

AK-CB053 - 45cm straight
AK-CB054 - 100cm straight
AK-CB055 - 45cm right angle
AK-CB056 - 100cm right angle

All of those have the latch connector. They're the standard red cable with black connectors.

Doesn't look like Overclockers stock them which is a shame, but hopefully that helps.

The Akasa ones that OcUK stock do have the extra secure metal latches on them. Although it depends on if you want the colourful bling with them.
