What cables do I need for SSD and HDD?

MyLifeIsFailure · Apr 14, 2016

Hi. Seems that I dont have right cables for SSD, HDD and DVD Writer.

My mobo included only 2 Sata 6GB/S cables.

1. Do I need a faster cable for SSD?

2. Will a sata 6gb/s cable be okay for dvd writer?

Cheers mates

If you have "standard" SATA cables, you'll be fine. You can use whatever you have, you'll see no appreciable difference in performance.

As long as you have SATA III ports you wont bottleneck your SSD, SATA II slots are to slow for SSD's so you wont get the SSD full read power.

A SATA III 6Gb/s cable paired with a SATA III 6Gb/s port on the board you're connecting your device to will be plenty for any SSDs, HDDs and/or Optical Disk Drives. Just be aware that you also need SATA power to your drives/devices

I would like to point out that the link you provided also has a SATA III to USB type C adapter in it as well as a SATA power cable, but the majority are SATA III 6Gb/s data cables. Just putting this out there in case OP sees the other two and gets confused with what he needs.
