But the SSD don't have any cable, so do I need to buy the SATAIII cable? Do I need to buy any more other cables?
Thank you for your time
Henry

Yes, you will need the SATA III cables.

my mobo comes with 4 sata cables:

It has the SATA III cables. SATA 6GB/s = SATA III.

 

[henry81]

2 with angle, 2 without

 

[henry81]

yes, but I can not connect

 

[azeem40]

You should have specified that the cable you had wasn't working on the SSD. Saying it doesn't have cable usually means it didn't come with the right cables.

Did you try other cables?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

you will need a sata 3 cable and a sata power cable

 

[henry81]

the angle & without angle cables are the same, can I use any of them? oh, yes, I connected the cable to the SSD drive.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

yes, the angled cables are the same -- just a different angle for convenience

Sata Cables are color coded however: black=SATA 1 (1.5 GB), Red=SATA 2 (3 GB), White = SATA 3 (6 GB)

 

[henry81]

All the cable are 6 GB/s and 3 Gb/s as well. Because the angle one show HDD at the angle. The another one is not, so I think I will connect to the straight head cable.

the sockets are color coded, they sell round sata 3 cables, but one of the big sites( i dont remember which one) did a study and the "sata 3" rated cable didnt make any difference...just make sure to put your 6 gbs into the correct socket for the best speeds.

yes, thks lupi
