I have a few SATA cables, mostly red, most of them Alchemy "Premium Modding Series", 30 cm SATA3. And all of the Alchemy cables have locks. I have had no problems. I recently inspected some cables, and found no visible evidence of corrosion. I have not had any problems with any SATA installations. Could those of you with SATA cables, please indicate whether they were problematic or not, and locking or not? Thank you. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
