I just bought a Sandisk SSD 128GB and now I have to know which SATA cable to buy. I have a Gigagbyte 78LMT USB3 Motherboard. Thanks for the help.

Any SATA III cable should work - the options would be length (this depends upon your case - generally 18" is more than enough, depending on the location of the drive bay where the SSD is mounted in comparison to the connector on the mobo), color (pick one - I used different colors for HDD, SDD, Optical) and whether or not to get the 90 degree angles.

There is not really alot of difference in SATA cables as far as performance goes just get one that will give you the length you need. I prefer cable's with locking mechanism that keep them from slipping out.
