Will I see a difference for 1.5GB/s and 6GB/s for my HDD?

I bought a 2TB HDD 7200rpm @ 6GB/s
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Barracuda-inch-Internal-Drive/dp/B006H32Q3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1388839179&sr=1-1&keywords=2tb+7200rpm

I selected 3-5 day delivery, it came in 2 days.
I then bought a 6GB/s Sata cable and selected 1-2 day delivery. It has been 5-6days and it's yet to arrive so i'm thinking of going to PCWorld to get a sata cable as it is just a joke now.. been waiting for ages to receive my cable. Although, the one at PCWorld is only 1.5GB/s

Will I notice any difference with my HDD?

Regards,
Jared.

SATA cables advertised as faster is just a con to get you to pay more for what is essentially the same thing.
All SATA cables are the same - the only difference between them is the build quality.

If the manufacturer wants to charge more for better quality cables, that's fair enough. But they should advertise them as such instead of misleading the public about the SATA speed they are compatible with - it's nonsense.
