Do you guys think that using cheap SATA cable from china will cause data corruption?

Yes. You have to buy pure silver ones other ways it will currupt all your drives.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Not at all. Sata cables for the most part are pretty much the same. 

Even when it comes to sata 3gb/s or sata 6gb/s, they are just all sata 6gb/s cables that are marketed differently because it's easier to just make the same cable and sells well.

You should be perfectly fine. Digital transfer is on / off (well really high / low voltage), so cable quality doesn't really matter as long as there's an actual connection.
