- Will this cable make my SSD faster?
- No. Any SATA III cable carries up to 6 Gb/s, and the drive sets the speed. Buy it for length and fit, not performance.
- Is it long enough for a mid-tower case?
- Probably not for a full-size case with drives in a front bay. It is best for short runs, such as a drive mounted close to the motherboard.
- Does it work with both hard drives and SSDs?
- Yes. It is a standard SATA data cable, so it fits 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives, SSDs and SATA optical drives.
- Do I need a separate power cable?
- Yes. This is a data cable only. The drive still needs a SATA power connection from the power supply.
- Is it compatible with SATA II drives?
- Yes. SATA is backward compatible, so a SATA II drive will work at its own lower speed.
- What is in the box?
- One red SATA III male-to-male cable. No screws, power adapter or mounting hardware are included.
