I usually prowl thru Jims supply (he's the IT manager) at the tv station, snarfing the black or sorta tan cables. He uses enough drives that usually come with cables in a year to more than keep me in fresh cables. But I have not had a problem with the 3 I've put in that weren't that "hot red", 2 black ones and a tan one. I like the black ones really well as they have a tin locking latch that keeps them plugged in solid when in you are wrestling around with cables to replace a duff dvd writer. Thanks Dave.
