Can I still Use These SATA Cables?
Hi there I have an old computer, probably from 2008 or 2009. It has SATA 2 connections on the motherboard and the Western Digital drive in there is also SATA 2. I've been wondering if I can use those cables from the optical drive (plugged into SATA2 port) and hard drive for my new build that has all SATA 3. The hard drive is also sata 3 in my new build. Thanks :)

Indeed you can, there is no different SATA cables.. It has even been mythbusted that there is no difference what so ever!
