SATA cable question

bratboy · Jan 18, 2009, 03:04 AM

Am about to install a couple of SATA 3G/s WD HD's and wondering about the SATA cables. Are all SATA cables the same or for 2 G/s drives do I want better than a standard cable? I have 2 regular SATA cables that came with my MB but was looking at and considering 2 of these from newegg if it does make a difference as they are rated at 3 G/s

There should be no difference, just make sure any jumpers your drives have are set properly for the 3 GB/s.
