The performance of the modern storage devices, particularly SSD, M2 and mSATA flash card, are approaching the full SATA III bandwidth of 6Gbps, the quality of the data cable becomes critical in ensuring the stability and performance of the storage device. We have found many commerically available SATA cables fail to reliably connect high performance SSD to 6G SATA port. In some incidents, the connection can become intermittent. The problem can become more noticeable when the drive is connecting to the SATA port via a removable drive system or some kind of backplane.
Addonics high performance SATA cable has been tested to ensure stable high performance connection. We highly recommend this cable for connecting 6G SATA device to 6G SATA port. All Addonics 6G products that come bundle with SATA cables are of the same type of high performance SATA cable.
