Sabrent SATA III Straight Data Cable 3-Pack vs Benfei SATA III Cable 18 inch

Both are plain SATA III data cables that do the same job at 6 Gbit/s, so the choice comes down to length, pack size and connector shape. The Sabrent 3-pack gives you three 20-inch cables with straight connectors and a metal locking latch, and its 4.8 rating from 411 ratings is a large, steady track record. The Benfei is 18 inches, sold as a 3-pack combo, and carries an 18-month warranty with lifetime support, but its 4.9 rating rests on only 22 ratings. Buy the Sabrent for longer runs and a proven latch; buy the Benfei if the shorter length fits and you want the longer warranty.

• Choose the Sabrent 3-pack if you need 20-inch runs to reach drives mounted high in a tower or across a large case, and you want a cable with hundreds of owner ratings behind it.
• Choose the Benfei if an 18-inch cable reaches your drives and you value the 18-month warranty and lifetime support over a bigger review base.
