12-pack SATA III cables for internal drives

This 12-pack supplies 18-inch SATA III cables with locking latches for connecting motherboards or host controllers to hard drives, solid-state drives and optical drives. Each cable uses a 7-pin male-to-male design and copper conductors rated for 6 Gbps data transfer. The low-profile jacket eases routing inside a case.

Suits builders adding multiple drives.

The pack suits system builders who need several spare or replacement data cables for 2.5-inch SSDs, 3.5-inch HDDs, DVD drives or RAID controller cards. It does not carry power, so a separate power connection is required for every drive. Buyers who need angled connectors or longer runs should look elsewhere.

6 Gbps headroom across twelve links

Each link supports SATA Revision 3.0 at up to 6 Gbps and remains backwards compatible with SATA I and II devices. Actual throughput is limited by the connected drive and controller. The twelve cables provide enough headroom for multi-drive arrays or future upgrades without requiring additional purchases.

Questions about this item

What do I need on my motherboard for these 12 blue SATA III cables to work?

You need a free 7-pin SATA data port on the motherboard or a host controller card; each drive also requires a separate SATA power connector from the PSU.

Will these 6 Gbps cables slow down my older SATA I or SATA II hard drives?

No, the cables are backwards compatible with SATA I and SATA II, so legacy drives will run at their own rated speed without any bottleneck from the cable.

How can I verify the 18-inch cables are delivering 6 Gbps after I plug them in?

Check the negotiated link speed in BIOS or with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it should show SATA 3.0 / 6 Gbps for a SATA III SSD or HDD.
