Write a review for the Cables Direct SERIAL ATA CABLE 0.4m here!
Powers my new SATA hard disk fine, but a warning to other owners of Dell Dimension 5100's and other computers with hard disk trays near the case: The cable sticks out a good few centimetres - I can't put the case back together as this cable is in the way.
Great little cable. Works perfectly. Don't waste your money on more expensive cables when this one does the job!
As noted by Dan, the cable functions electrically perfectly well and is good value. However, I also ran into the problem with closing the side panel , but this was on a Dell Dimension E520. Dell use a right-angle cable for their pre-fitted drive.
Not much else to be said, it does the job and costs next to nothing.
The description includes the words "The IDE adaptor allows backwards compatibility with existing IDE..". This is misleading as there is no IDE adaptor, just a plain and simple SATA cable. The description should read " An IDE adaptor would, if purchased separately, ....".
