“The speed capacity is yet another consideration to keep in mind before choosing your SATA cable. You probably noticed that we covered only 6 Gbps cables…”

LOL, There is no such thing as a 6 Gbps SATA cable, nor is there any such thing as a “SATA III” cable. Every SATA cable ever made will perform at the same speed. ALL OF THEM! The SATA cable you bought for $1 ten years ago will perform at 6 Gbps as well as a $7 (or more) “SATA III” cable you can buy today.

“SATA I” = “SATA II” = “SATA III”. It is all marketing and there is literally no difference in speed. All will do 6 Gbps easily.

The ONLY possible difference between cables is build quality for longevity. Some cables are made with better material and may have secure clips on the end, but none of them run any faster than older and cheaper cables.

In reply to james landry.

However, It has an easy-grip surface, so even if your fingers are a bit slippery, you won’t have difficulty plugging it in or taking it off. And to ensure it stays in place when installed, the manufacturer included latching clips, which lock it in place.

My only concern about Cable Matters is that its connectors are a bit blocky and oversized. If your connectors are spaced too closely on either the motherboard or the drive, then you can’t use the adjacent plug. It’s going to be an issue if the neighboring connectors are crucial as well.
