Manufacturer description

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the Cable Matters SATA cable kit?

Two 18-inch SATA III data cables (one straight, one 90-degree right angle), one 15-pin SATA power Y splitter, and one 4-pin Molex to SATA power Y cable.

Will these SATA cables work with my older SATA II hard drive?

Yes. The cables are backward compatible with SATA I, II and III SSDs, hard disk drives, and DVD or Blu-ray drives. Transfers run at the fastest speed the drive and port both support.

Can I power a SATA SSD from a power supply that only has Molex connectors?

Yes. The included 4-pin Molex to SATA Y cable turns one legacy Molex LP4 connector into SATA power plugs, so you can run modern drives from older power supplies.

When should I use the 90-degree SATA cable instead of the straight one?

Use the right-angle cable when there is little space next to the drive or motherboard port, such as in small form factor cases or against a graphics card. Use the straight cable where clearance is not an issue.

How long are the SATA data cables?

Both data cables are 18 inches long. Check the distance from your motherboard's SATA ports to the drive bays before you buy, especially in large tower cases.
