cables for ssd ?

[Michaelius]

What cables do you use for SSD ? Normal sata cable or shielded sata II cables like advised on ocz forum ? Does it even matter ?

Believe you can use any SATA cable you want.

Data is data. I'm not sure why data from an SSD would be more susceptible to corruption than data from an HDD. But I could be missing something.

I think their reasoning for this is you are pushing 170-220 MB/s instead of 100 with fast traditional HDD. But I'm not sure if it's that important.

Makes no difference. Pretty much any SATA cable will do.

What's a "shielded" SATA II cable anyway? These cables are all "shielded" in a sense by the outer layer of plastic that protects the cable's conductive material anyway.

I pretty much thought we were past this SATA I, II, III, cable marketing BS.

There are no specified differences between SATA cables. The only difference is what the manfgs decide to include (clips, angle connectors, whatever...) and what they decide to call 'um. SATA I or SATA II, and in the future SATA III cables, is all marketing BS.

There are differences between SATA and eSATA cables. The plugs are different and shielding is required.

I'm suprised nobody in that thread ( http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...75&postcount=4) has asked for a link to show those "specific differences" in the SATA cables.

AAR, I do agree with one thing. The yellow cables with clips at SataCables are my favorites. I've purchased every style on that page and more from quite a few other places, but I keep comming back to those yellow ones. Those 13", straight to right hand cables just fit so well in so many places....
