Buying guide
Choosing a SATA cable
Straight or right-angled
Right-angled connectors fit tight spaces beside a drive or under a card, so check the clearance before choosing.
Latching connectors
Latching SATA connectors stay seated in servers and workstations that see vibration.
Data and power
A SATA data cable carries signal only. The drive also needs a SATA power connector from the power supply or backplane.

Frequently asked questions
Does a SATA III cable make a drive faster?
No. SATA cables aren't really graded by generation, and any good-quality cable carries 6Gb/s. Speed depends on the drive and the port.
How long can a SATA cable be?
Internal SATA cables are limited to 1 meter. eSATA cables for external drives can run up to 2 meters.
What is a USB to SATA cable for?
It connects a bare 2.5-inch drive to a USB port for data recovery, cloning or quick external storage, as the StarTech USB3S2SAT3CB does.
