Our take on the StarTech SATA-SATA

This is a plain SATA data cable from StarTech, about 18 inches long, with straight male connectors at both ends and a flat red ribbon design. It does the one job a SATA data cable has: connecting a drive to a motherboard port. It is unshielded and has no right-angle connector, so it is a basic choice rather than a premium one. It suits anyone replacing a lost or damaged cable or adding a drive inside a desktop case.

Pros
  • Standard SATA data connection that fits most drives and motherboards
  • Flat ribbon design bends easily in tight spaces
  • About 18 inches of length covers most internal runs
  • Straight connectors on both ends are simple to seat
  • StarTech is an established cable brand with broad availability
Cons
  • Unshielded, so it offers less protection against interference than shielded cables
  • No right-angle connector, which can strain in tight corners
  • Red color stands out in a black case
  • No locking latch mentioned, so check the connector type before buying

Questions and answers

Is this cable shielded?
No. It is an unshielded SATA data cable. Shielded cables cost more but can help in cases with heavy electrical noise.
Will it fit a 2.5-inch SSD and a desktop motherboard?
Yes, it uses standard SATA data connectors, which fit SATA hard drives, SSDs and optical drives as well as motherboard SATA ports.
Does it carry power to the drive?
No. It is a data cable only. The drive still needs a separate SATA power cable from the power supply.
Are the connectors straight or angled?
Both ends are straight, not right-angled. In a tight corner a right-angle cable may fit better.
How long is it?
About 18 inches, or roughly 1.5 feet, which covers most internal drive-to-motherboard runs.
Is it worth choosing over a shielded or right-angle cable?
If you just need a short, simple data link, it is fine. Choose a shielded or right-angle cable if you have tight bends or interference concerns.
