Re: SATA Cables Suck!
I have SATA one cables/connectors, and they do come loose when fiddling in the case, but otherwise they are fine (when the case is closed and the machine is running. However, I do prefer the locking cables and jacks in SATA II. You might look at Newegg as your vendor, I believe I saw some there: http://www.newegg.com. Alternatively, I got some SATAII cables from, oddly enough, Microcenter, that were good priced and worked well. -Jim Stapleton On 8/2/06, Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 1 Aug 2006 at 17:23, Nikolas Britton wrote: The number one problem I've had with SATA RAIDs has been the cables! 4 times I've lost arrays because the cables came loose or some other stupid problem with the cables.

I need a vendor that has high quality latching SATA-II cables. Also...

First google hit SATA-II cable specification:
http://www.satacable.com/
Second google site hit
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2076134CatId=84
I've done business with Tiger Direct. They were prompt for delivery.
Searching for things on their site was annoying, though.
Adding site:newegg to the search gives:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812207001
and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812162003
First has a right angle connector.
You were saying?

Already looked at the Silverstone cables a few days ago, too many bad
reviews about the cables snapping in two. Do you have any of these
Silverstone cables... can you comment on the quality? thanks.

Now that I've rationally thought about it, it's possible the backplane is flaky... I still think the cable connectors are to loose.

Re: SATA Cables Suck!
Hrm. SATA cables suck. I just got a new macbook - its power connector
sucks itself right into the socket when it's close to it. If SATA
cables sucked, this wouldn't be an issue.

Well, according to all this, my nice new 3-ware
9550SX SATA II card has SATA I connectors and came
with SATA I cables. That seems, well, disapointing and
odd.
