Questions & Answers

My new SSD, the Samsung 850 Evo 500GB 2 SD Card, needs to be connected to this. I have an ASUS P7P55D and am using a 2.5-inch sata III drive- I have tried e pro motherboard, but to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me?

There SHOULD be no problem with the cable It is great for standard storage and SSD-based storage An external hard drive is an external storage device. Answer these questions Have you enabled the SATA ports in your BIOS? 2) Do you have a power cable attached to your hard drive? These cables do not carry The only thing to do is gather

Do the (3 Pack) Straights have a lock to secure them?

For the 18" version, there were clips that would hold it in place. For my case, those were a bit short, so I bought the 24", which did not have My heart aches.

What happens if I use a 3gbps sata interface on my evo ssd? Am I unable to benefit from the full speed of the Are we going to need 6gbps for this?

There is a maximum speed of 6Gbps on it. You will be able to use your SSD at its maximum speed if your drive only supports SATAII. You can't increase speed by simply switching to a faster cable.

The HP 720237 is what I am using In order to connect my SSD to my laptop, I have to use a cable 001. This cable can be used in place of that ?

The 720237-code doesn't appear to mean anything The 001 cable is a power and data cable, while this is the 4 pin data cable. If your other cable covers the whole hard drive, it is a combo cable with power and data in the same plug, which is usually much Cables such as this one offer data transfer for all SATA hard drives (4 pin).

Selected User Reviews For Cable Matters 3-Pack Straight SATA III 6.0 Gbps SATA Cable (SATA 3 Cable) Red - 18 Inches

WHO CARES?! WHAT IS THE REAL DEAL? I lost over 20 years of my digital life in an instant due to a broken hard drive connected to this cable! When I tried to connect it to my drive it would not lock since there was an alignment issue on the connector
3/5

A second attempt was made after adjusting the clip and checking the head However, it also felt loose, slippery, and unlocked, which was a very strange sensation. The pins had been stripped of the plastic sheath that covers them. I checked it again and discovered it had been pulled out. In my initial attempt to connect it, the clip was so misaligned that it snapped off the sheath immediately. WELL, WHAT DO WE DO It's not going to be possible to retrieve all my data or even this $20 drive with the replacement of this cable.

Cable Matters Three Pack of Sata 6Gbps Cables are simple and easy to use
5/5

This is a review of the Cable Matters Three Pack of Sata 6Gbps Cables. Summarized sata cables with a nice, simple design, easily usable, and at a reasonable price. Each cable is 18" long, and was the perfect length for my specific of the things I now require in my sata cables is a locking mechanism, and each cable comes with one the cables came in good shape, looked nice, and felt good to me. I don't see anything that appears to be subpar or cheap about them. They would be the perfect choice for your computer needs as they can deliver full 6 Gbps speed. If you are not sure if your drive has SATA I or II ports, the drives are backward compatible. Overall, I am happy with these and they are doing an excellent job. My reviews will be updated should any issues emerge with their ongoing use, as I do with all my reviews.

Good product, exactly what it said it would be
5/5

There was one SATA cable with two straight ends and one SATA cable with one straight end and one 90 degree end that came with my motherboard. I had problems managing cable management due to the 90 degree end cord The use of two 2s after switching out the HDD for an SSD makes all the difference. SSDs up to 5 inches can be squeezed into a 2 inch form factor The number of 5 to 3 is incorrect. This drive bay has a 5 inch depth). In this case, I was able to replace the 90-degree cable end with a fully straight cable, and I had 2 extra cables for if I needed to add more SSDs in the future. I would buy this product again without hesitation.

It is no longer possible to have loose fitting cables
5/5

The Sata cable has never actually fallen out of its socket, but they are always loose as goose feathers. There is only friction holding them in the socket, so they will not fall out. There is a steel tab that holds these cables inside the sockets, ensuring they remain perfectly in place. In addition, even though the cables themselves are stiff, once they are bent in place, they retain their shape. A lot of Sata cables act as if they have their own minds After you bend them, they remain the same shape they were when they were pulled out of their bags. The cables look good. I would definitely recommend it!.

Using this would be too wide
3/5

As well as the SATA power cable next to them, they are too wide to use together. One of the three items in the pack was all I could use. In addition, the wheels do not lock into place as they should. Fallen out of the slot after a while. It is a shoddy It would have been best to send them back to you.

I love the length of the cable management and the quality
5/5

In my PC build, the longer cables with the metal clips on the end fit most of my drives just fine. The longer cables make it easier to handle the cables because they fit inside the PC much better than the shorter cables. As well as the angled cables, I have purchased them before, and they work well in some cases but not in all. You need to determine if a 90-degree angle will work in terms of the amount of room you have and the location where the drives will be mounted. The seller of these cables is actually one I very much appreciate since I have ordered many different kinds of cables from them, none of which have disappointed me. These are the ones that can't be beaten.

These cables are in perfect condition
5/5

In most cases, motherboards come with two SATA cables, but you'll need more if you plan on adding more than just a boot drive/DVD. On two computers, both the motherboard and the SATA connectors on the drives were too far away from each other, i. e. , they weren't positioned at the same distance. A 24" cable was preferred over a 36" cable when using a Small Form Factor case for a home theater PC. I tried them out right out of the box with a 12" or 18" cable, and they worked well. The extras will be on hand in the near future.

I was frustrated for hours because of a faulty cable
3/5

Purchasing these at the same time as upgrading my SSDs was a good idea. My SSD started fiddling with me, and I spent a long time trying to diagnose what was going on, including formatting, repartitioning, and numerous Due to the warranty still being active, I decided to send back the drive after I had been frustrated for hours. Trying another cable, I encountered the same problem, but when I changed the cable, it worked. My only comment is that I am glad some people have had luck with these cables (if the reviews are accurate) but I did not. I hate it.
