Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1)
Customer Review: It's a cable, it works.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three requirements when purchasing a cable:
1) Does it fit snugly?
2) Does it pass data?
3) Is it of proper length?
This cable has a 90-degree angle connector on one end and straight end on the other. Cable fits snugly in the drive and in the motherboard, it passes data along, it's of proper length. All requirements met.
Customer Review: Work Just Fine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 7 hard drives in my home-built i7 rig, running Win 7 64-bit on an EVGA X58 mobo. Most drives are WD Blacks, except for a Raptor and two RE3s in RAID0. bought a few of these cables and the work exactly the same as the cables that came with my motherboard. It seems crazy to spend and more than a few bucks for a standard Sata cable. These work great. Go for it.Customer Review: Sata Cable, easy to use.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've typically not used SATA cables in the past, mostly owning the older parallel cable type, with jumpers to set and figure out. This was very straight forward, although you do have to look at the alignment at the end of the connector to plug it in correctly. Other than that, it went fine. Powered up and recognized the drive right away. I'm satisfied.Customer Review: Not worth the time

Bought two of these cables to add a second SATA drive to my older Dell 8300.
The right angle connect was an OK fit to the drive but the straight end was extremely loose on the motherboard.
I gave up and bought another one from Best Buy for $20, fit fine and was of much better quality.
I guess you get what you pay for.....
Customer Review: Great if your harddrive is upsidedown
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a SATA cable. Pretty straight forward. The right angle is very useful for tight spaces, in my case, the centimeter between my case door and HDD. Just one problem; the cable bends UP not down like most cables. This wasn't a problem for me, but if you have low clearance between the top of your component and its mount, DO NOT BUY THIS!
