Hello! I just bought an S-ATA III hard drive (Samsung 840 EVO) and I am wondering if there are special S-ATA III cables to connect it to the motherboard. I am asking this because I have two types of cables: one yellow and one red. Any difference between them?
Thank you very much!

I did some research a little while ago and I can't seem to find any difference in the cables.

There is only one type of SATA data cable, compatible with all revisions of the SATA interface. Some stores and brands do sell more expensive "SATA III" cables, but it's basically just a scam.
