Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1)
Customer Review: It's SATA and it's cheap... how it should be.
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this due to the right angled connectors. My GPU heatsink is covering one of the SATA ports on my motherboard, making it difficult for me to utilize my last remaining port. Initially, CiTi Electronics (the seller from which I ordered) shipped me the wrong type of cable, just a standard cable with no right angled connectors. I e-mailed the customer service, got a prompt response from "Jay" and was told that they will ship me the correct type of cable immediately at no extra cost, also allowing me to keep the original SATA cable that I received. 5/5 for their customer service.
As for the cable itself (the original one that was shipped to me), I'm using it in a Cooler Master HAF 922 just to test if it works. It's plenty lengthy (18 inches), and able to be routed around the side panel of my case for easy cable management. It feels sturdy but flexible and hasn't given me any problems as of yet. It performs just as well as the SATA cable that I got from Best Buy with a $20 gift card. This is 1/5 the price after shipping, and they perform identically. My WD Caviar Black HDD is still getting around a 115 MB/s read/write rate, which is excellent. If you do order this cable, which you should if you'd rather spend $4 than $20, I'd recommend using CiTi Electronics due to their quick (less than 24 hour response) customer service.
Description of StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1)
This right angled SATA cable features a standard (straight) female Serial ATA connector as well as a right-angled (female) SATA connector, providing a simple 18in connection to a Serial ATA drive even if space near the drive's SATA port is limited. Once the right-angled SATA connector has been inserted into the drive's SATA data port, the shaft of the cable is seated flush with the rear panel of the drive, eliminating the clutter of excess cable at the connection point - an ideal solution for small or micro form factor computer cases. The right angled SATA cable features a thin, narrow construction that helps to improve airflow within the computer case; the cable also features a rugged, yet flexible design that makes it easy to make the SATA connection as needed, and is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty. As an alternative, StarTech.com also offers an 18in Left Angle SATA cable (SATA18LA1), which offers the same simple installation as this right angled SATA cable, but allows the cable to connected to the SATA drive from the opposite direction.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
