JMer806 Honorable Jun 12, 2012 515 0 11,060 Jul 27, 2012 #2 Yes, they are different cables. The fastest now is SATA III, or 6 Gbps. SATA II is 3 Gbps. Here's a random SATA III cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812123111 Here's a random SATA II cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812816027 I believe that all SATA III cables are backward-compatible, so when in doubt go for those. If they don't specifically say SATA III, look for ones that say 6 Gbps - those are SATA III. Upvote 0 Downvote
