Dell uses a right angle SATA cable on the internal hard drive in their systems. I added another drive and just have a normal SATA cable. The normal SATA cable sticks out too far to close the case.

Any ideas where to get a SATA cable with a right angle on the the connector?

Thanks. I will need to look at the existing cable when I get home to see if either of these will work.

If not, I guess I will need to call Dell.

Okay, I decided to look at Dell's website. They sell a Belkin right angle cable that doesn't stick out as far as the other two suggestions. Since this is the only SATA cable they list, I assume it will work with their systems. $10.95 plus about $10 shipping/tax.

I found the same cable on Froogle for around $7. PC Mall wants $33.99 for it and one other place had it for $25! PC Mall must cater to the low IQ shoppers!

LOL..yeah, I ordered from them a few times...The cables are really nice...The latching ones are really good.....they hold nice on my MOBO...But you need to watch the shipping, they like to gouge on some orders..
 
Yeah, the on on Dell's web site looks like the ones that come stock in their systems, the angle is much closer to the drive than the other examples posted here (my post included.) I thought I'd remembered the ones in Dell systems to be closer to the drive, but didn't take the time to check. I just opened my Optiplex 280 here at my work desk and the angle is close to the drive like the one listed on Dell's site (just blue instead of red.)
