- Will this cable work with any SATA hard drive or SSD?
- Yes. It is a standard SATA data cable and connects any SATA drive to a motherboard SATA port. It does not carry power, so you still need a SATA power cable from the power supply.
- Does it support SATA III speeds?
- The cable is a passive data link and does not limit SATA III (6 Gbps) signaling in normal use. Speed depends on the drive and the motherboard port.
- How long is it?
- It is about 60 cm, roughly 2 ft, which is enough for most mid-tower cases.
- Does it have locking clips?
- No. The connectors are straight with no latches, so route the cable so it is not pulled tight.
- Can I use it for an optical drive?
- Yes. SATA optical drives use the same data connector, so this cable works for them too.
