I don't have much experience with these SATA connectors, and the Apple  
cables in my G5 are so much better than the cheap cables on a PC I'm  
messing with. Even with the "L" shaped connector, the cheap cables  
tend to skew open on one end making the orientation of the cable  
somewhat critical. They're definitely better than the PATA ribbon  
cables, but . . . not yet perfect, that's for certain.
