difference in SATA cables?

[paradigmGT]

I was looking at ordering some cheapo SATA from meritline (china retailer), and then I started to think - what if there are differences in throughput ability?



So are there differences to watch for in cables?



Thanks

No, they will all be the same. They did a test on this website and the only thing that slows them down even a tiny bit is daisy chaining like 50ft of them together. I am actually using a new one and one from an old (2005) system and they both work at the same exact speed.
