Question sata cable

[velocci]

hi all, is there a way to tell if a sata cable is 6gbps or 3gbps just by looking at it? I found a cable so just wondering if its 6.

Assuming good quality cables, there is no difference. (except in the eyes of marketing people)

SATA cables: Is there a difference?

With the release of SATA III 6GB/s, we have seen some confusion on the web regarding what SATA cables are supported. Today we will be addressing those concerns by testing multiple SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s cables to see if there are any performance differences.

"In conclusion, our testing has agreed 100% with SATA-IO's statement that SATA 3Gb/s cables will work perfectly fine with SATA 6Gb/s drives. This wasn't much of a surprise to us, but it is always nice to have hard data backing up a claim."

"To compare the speeds for each cable, we configured our test hard drive as a secondary storage drive and ran the benchmarks with each separate cable."

Sequential Read

464.2 MB/s

Excuse me Matt, but which SATA HDD can achieve a sustained read transfer rate of 460 MB/s, even today?

The drive they used was an Intel SSD
