[MADD TAZZ]

isn't SATA II cable 26awg and SATA III 28awg?

As far as I know there isn't an official AWG standard, it's just whether or not they pass the test. I could be incorrect, but I think I read that SATA 2 and 3 are the same thing cable wise.

Virtually every testing organization that we're familiar with has reached the same conclusion as the one referred to you by McHenryB, i.e., there's no difference in data transmission rates between SATA II (3 Gb/s) & SATA III (6 Gb/s) cables. And based on the informal (real-world) tests we've done over the years comparing those cables we've come to the same conclusion.
