Our take on the StarTech.com 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable

This is an 18-inch SATA data cable with one straight connector and one 90-degree right-angle connector. The angled end lets you plug into a drive or motherboard port that sits close to a case wall or another component, where a straight plug would foul. It carries SATA 3.0 signaling at up to 6 Gbps with SATA 3.0 drives, and the thin, flat profile keeps airflow clear. It suits builders working in small cases, NAS boxes and tight drive cages. Compared with plain straight-ended cables it solves clearance problems, but it is a passive data cable: it adds no speed or power, and StarTech also sells a left-angle version for the opposite routing direction.

Pros
  • Right-angle end clears tight spaces a straight plug cannot
  • Supports SATA 3.0 signaling up to 6 Gbps
  • 18 inches covers most case layouts
  • Thin, flexible jacket routes easily and aids airflow
  • Works with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives
  • Backed by a lifetime warranty
Cons
  • Passive cable: no speed gain over any working SATA cable
  • Right angle only helps if it points the correct way; the left-angle version is a separate buy
  • No locking latch on some builds, so it can work loose if pulled
  • 18 inches is too long for very compact builds and too short for some full towers

What people mention

Questions and answers

Will this work with a SATA 3.0 SSD?
Yes. It supports SATA 3.0 signaling up to 6 Gbps when paired with a SATA 3.0 drive and port. It is a passive cable, so it will not slow a compliant drive.
Right angle or left angle: which do I need?
Look at which way the cable must exit the drive or board. The right-angle version turns the cable one way; StarTech sells a left-angle model for the opposite direction. Measure before buying.
Does it fit 2.5-inch drives as well as 3.5-inch?
Yes. The connector is standard SATA, so it fits both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives and standard SATA motherboard ports.
Does the cable carry power to the drive?
No. It is a data cable only. The drive still needs a separate SATA power connection from the power supply.
Is it worth choosing over a plain straight SATA cable?
Only if clearance is a problem. A straight cable works fine in open space; the angled end earns its place in tight cases and cramped drive bays.
Is there a latch on the connectors?
The connectors are standard SATA push-fit types. They hold firmly, but check they are fully seated, since a partially inserted plug can cause dropped drives.
