If my SATA cable is at 90º or more will it result in data loss

[joseph9012]

This is what it told me in the manual
"Please do not fold the SATA or SATAe cable at 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise."

Does that mean only at 90º data loss might happen or anything past 90º.

Thanks

Its about folding, IE forcing the cable into a position that might damage the internal wires.
Once you damaged the wires there is no coming back, Folding it the opposite way wont fix the wires that were damaged.

Thats going to depend on the cable there is no specific angle the cord will just stop working. They recommend not to bend it beyond 90 degrees as a precaution, data loss is not guaranteed to happen or to not happen.

That just means you don't make a sharp 90 degree (or more) bend.
A gentle turn is fine.
