Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tripp Lite P950-18I Serial ATA II Signal Cable, 2x7-pin Straight Connector - 18inCustomer Review: Don't expect 18" Summary: 3 Stars
I just received my 18" cable. It looked a little short so I measured it. From tip to tip, it's 17 3/4". The cable itself is 15 3/4", and it's not at all flexible (actually flexible in one direction only. Imagine a piece of Romex 12 gauge house wiring that's flat). So if your application needs more than about a foot, you're better off getting a longer length.
I'd exchange it, but for $11.50, it's not worth the trouble (even though Amazon would probably do it at no charge).
But before ordering make sure that a shorter cable will work for you.
Other than that its got an eSata male 7 pin plug on each end, and is what you need to attach an external drive to a TiVo Series 3 (if you don't use TiVo's Expander, which comes with a cable). If you have an HD TiVo (not a Series 3), only their external drive will work without hacking the software.

This 18 data cable connects any high speed eSATA drive, PVR/DVR, or SETOP box to an eSATA controller. SATA-II delivers higher data transfer rates (up to 3 Gbps), and the double-shielded cable design is perfect for the new generation of External SATA -II drives.
