Looking to buy some more SATA data cables, just wondering if there's anything in particular that I should look for besides right angle vs straight. Also wondering which is the best to go for in terms of reliability.

I can categorically state that I have only ever had IIRC about 1 sata cable fail on me. Most cables I have thrown out have been due to locking connector problems, for that reason I prefer the non-locking ones.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
