They all perform the same, it just depends on the position of your drive and case's cable management to determine which type is the best for cable management. 

 

The only one of those I would always go for is latched, as it just ensures it doesn't get pulled out or wiggle loose.

Hello, I am interested in buying a twelve inch version of this https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-12-Inch-Serial-Cable-SATA12/dp/B000FHF25Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1500317929&sr=1-1&keywords=Startech%2Bsata%2Bcable&th=1 . I am not familiar with Sata cables and want to know which variant would be the best for my setup.

Bright green - Motherboard

Light Candy Green - Shelf layer above the port

To be honest, a Sata cable sat works =) 

 

I usually use those delivered with the mainboard... Asrock tends to throw in 4-6 ones

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

I usually like the latching ones because they stick fast... then I dislike them, because they stuck fast even when you want to remove them =)

My sata port is under the platform with my SSD on it, meaning it will run around the platform up to the ssd

Yeah well I won't remove them anytime soon :). Should I get rounded though? It is going to run around an edge so I think that straight would be better right?
