Sata 6GB/s Cable?

[Tomson]

I'm on the verge of getting a c300 ssd and I spotted Akasa selling "6GB/s ready" sata cables.

Is this just a marketing ploy or with a regular red sata cable you can't get anymore than sata 3GB/s speeds?

"regular" SATA cable is fine.

A SATA cable is a SATA cable is a SATA cable when it comes to speed.

No, no, no. You need the gold plated, 10 gauge, Oxygen-free Monster SATA cable ($89 retail) to prevent those pesky bits from getting slowed down or lost.

When something about overpriced Monster cables came up on Consumerist.com, one person who endorsed super-cheap cables was: this guy (PhD in electrical engineering, specializes in signal integrity issues).
