SATA 3.0 cable with locking latch

This 18-inch cable connects internal SATA drives using the 3.0 revision for up to 6.0 Gbps transfer rates. The straight 180-degree connectors feature locking clips that prevent accidental disconnection during use. Red nylon braiding protects the 26 AWG tinned copper conductors inside.

Suits builders adding a single drive

The fixed 18-inch length works best when the motherboard port sits close to the drive bay. Builds that route cables behind a motherboard tray or span large full-tower cases often need a longer run. The cable carries data only and cannot supply power to any device.

Maximum throughput is 6.0 Gbps

Actual speed is limited by the slowest connected component, so a SATA 1.0 or 2.0 port will reduce performance. Backwards compatibility with earlier revisions is supported. No software or drivers are required for operation.

Questions about this item

Which connectors on my motherboard and drive must be free to use this 18 inch SATA 3.0 cable?

You need one free 7-pin SATA port on the motherboard and one on the drive; both ends are straight female connectors.

Will this cable slow down an older SATA 1.0 or 2.0 drive I keep in the system?

It is backwards compatible with SATA 1.0 and 2.0 ports, and the subsystem runs at the speed of the slowest device.

How can I confirm the link is running at 6.0 Gbps after I connect an SSD with this cable?

Check the negotiated link speed in BIOS or OS disk utility; it will show 6 Gbps only if the drive and port both support SATA 3.0.
