SATA Cables?

[Hydrogen1803]

Hello guys, 

                     I am looking for a sata cable for hooking up my optical drive in my computer. Could you guys please link some good, fast cables that will get the job done. All help is appreciated, thank you in advance. Also, is there anything else I need to set this up?

Your motherboard will come with some.

All SATA cables are the same.

All SATA3 Cable have 6Gbps, its not like Ethernet Cable that has CAT5 and CAT6 that has different speed, so getting 5$ or 50$ SATA3 cable will do the same thing, and also nearly all the Motherboard include 2 SATA3 Cable

All SATA cables are the same, other than some having latches, some being round and so on. 

[SPAS-ID]

All SATA cables are the same.

not all, SATA has 3 version, all 3 version has different speed, but in that 3 different they will perform the same ex : SATA1 cable will perform the same speed as other SATA1 cable, this applied for SATA2 and SATA3

If I'm not mistaken, unless you are using cheap poorly made cables, all SATA cables are the same.  The performance will depend on the devices, not the cables.

that cables didn't change the controllers did

all SATA that has the same version, and OP asking for Fast Cable meaning the best cable

 

that cables didn't change the controllers did

pardon my bad english, i mean SATA1 will do 1.5Gbps Max regardless the Brand / he Price, happy 12K post btw

dammit you caused me to waste my 12k post and yes you are correct

No they are actually all the same. The only difference is physical, as SATA2 spec introduced locking mechanisms

[SPAS-ID]

 i mean SATA1 will do 1.5Gbps Max regardless the Brand / the Price, so does SATA2 3Gbps and SATA3 6Gbps

He's trying to say that the limiting factor will be the controller, not the cable.

as a cable, any cable will do 6Gb no problem. What determines the actual link speed is the slowest point, either the drive or the controller. If you have a semi modern motherboard, it will be SATA3 based, and all HDDs are atleast SATA2.

 

He's trying to say that the limiting factor will be the controller, not the cable.

That makes more sense yes.

There is no such thing as SATA 1, 2 and 3 cables...

Jesus, does anyone read threads anymore? That was literally cleared up in the last two or three posts.

He was trying to say that the controller will be the limiter, not the cable. English is a shitty language and its hard to learn if you aren't a native speaker. It's been cleared up, just read the thread.

You are inferring on what you think he means.  He clearly mentions "regardless the Brand / the Price" and NOBODY ever mentions and/or talks about SATA controller prices.  It is very clear that he still means SATA cables and not controllers.
