Three-cable pack for internal SATA drives

This three-pack supplies straight SATA III cables with locking latches for connecting 2.5-inch SSDs, 3.5-inch HDDs or optical drives to motherboards and host controllers. Each cable measures 18 inches and carries a black finish. The cables handle data only and do not deliver power to the attached drive.

6 Gbps ceiling set by the slowest link

The SATA Revision 3.0 interface permits up to 6 Gbps, yet actual throughput is capped by the lowest-rated device in the chain. Older SATA I or SATA II ports will restrict transfer rates to their own maximums. Cable length and connector quality add no further bottleneck beyond the standard specification.

Check port orientation

Verify that your motherboard or controller offers standard straight SATA ports rather than right-angle variants that could foul the latch. Confirm each target drive receives its own power connection from the PSU, because these cables carry data only. Ensure physical clearance for the 18-inch length in your chassis routing.

Questions about this item

How do I choose among the cables in this three-pack?

All three cables are identical — 18 inch SATA III data cables with locking latches — so any one will work for a 2.5 inch SSD, 3.5 inch HDD or optical drive.

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed?

The cable supports SATA Revision 3.0 up to 6 Gbps, but actual transfer speed is limited by the drive and controller you connect.

Which SATA standard does this cable use and what does it cap?

It uses SATA III (Revision 3.0), capping the interface at 6 Gbps while remaining backwards compatible with SATA I and II devices.
