This is a SATA III data cable that connects a motherboard to storage drives. It supports the full SATA III 6Gbps bandwidth for hard drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Both ends have straight SATA connectors.
The cable is 50cm long, which suits most mid-tower and full-tower desktop PC cases. The straight connectors allow direct routing from the motherboard SATA port to the drive bay. Cases with drives mounted at tight angles may need an angled connector instead.
It is backward compatible with SATA I (1.5Gbps) and SATA II (3Gbps) devices. It works with HDDs, SSDs, CD/DVD drives, optical drives and Blu-ray writers. The connectors are sturdy and the cable has shielding for stable data transfer.
