Looking to upgrade my cables. Seems that the stock ones that came with my E760 are starting to die out. Not sure if some of the bends in my cable management are too sharp or what... I'd like to find something round and not flat but durability is top priority. Any suggestions?

I had a problem with some of my (cheap ?) SATA cables. I had some sharp bends in the cables, and the cheap plastic cable ends broke, so that the wires weren't making good contact. SATA cables are cheap enough that it's not worth any issues with data integrity to keep using a questionable cable.
 
They're all about the same, as long as you're spending more than a couple bucks. The SATA cable standard was over-designed so they could increase the speed of the cable to 300MB/s and then later 600 MB/s without a redesign. Those same cables you bought in 2002 can drive 6Gbps SSDs quite comfortably, provided they were built to-spec :D

So really, just don't pay bottom-dollar.
