Monoprice SATA III 6.0 Gbps Cable with Locking Latch, 90-Degree Plug, 1.5 Feet, Blue

The Serial ATA interface specification has undergone major revisions, with each iteration doubling the maximum data transfer rate. The latest SATA Revision 3.0 boasts data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps. While the cables for all three revisions appear similar and physically fit into the connectors on all SATA drives and controllers, the higher data transfer rate of SATA 6 Gbps requires higher-quality materials and closer tolerances than the previous two revisions.

Monoprice SATA 6 Gbps cables are certified to provide maximum speeds from your SATA system, up to 6 Gbps when used with equivalent devices and controllers. One end of this internal cable features a straight connector, while the other end uses a 90-degree connector, which can facilitate better cable management in some situations, particularly in tight spaces. Each end of the cable has an attached locking latch, ensuring that your connections do not come loose due to movement or vibration.

It's important to note that SATA 6 Gbps cables are backwards compatible and can be used with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps devices. However, the data transfer of the SATA subsystem will be limited to that of the slowest device. For instance, if a SATA 6 Gbps cable is connected to a SATA 3 Gbps drive and a SATA 1.5 Gbps controller, the drive will be limited to a transfer rate of 1.5 Gbps.

Monoprice stands behind the quality of its products, offering a Lifetime Warranty on all Cables. Customers can purchase with confidence, knowing that Monoprice's rugged design and rigid quality control standards deliver high-quality products at fair prices.
