Hi.

I want to replace the red SATA cables that came with my DVD & Blue-Ray internal drives and want to change them with black ones.

I have noticed there are SATA & SATA II. What are the difference, would a SATA II also be compatible or better?
 
As far as the cables are concerned, I believe the only difference is the locking/latching mechanism of the SATAII spec. Each are cross-compatible (SATA150 cables are compatible with SATA300 drives and vice versa).

and based on this I'd get the SATA II cables because of said latch mechanism (its nice)
