I deliberately let them loop as I make the second connection. The joy of SATA cables is they are much less likely to inhibit air flow that the flat cables can do.

SATA cables may not be tightly bent. Actually, they should not be bent at all, although a shallow bend is usually OK. In particular, 90 degree bends are verboten! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Cable routing in MDD
Getting this sata controller card has left me with one question however... where to rout these sata cables? is there a good, better, best way to rout them to the hard drive carriers? can I rout them under the motherboard around the edge without problems?
