XION Model XON-SATA918ML_BL 18" SATA II with Metal Latch Cable

Pros: works fine and goes with my color scheme

Cons: none

Pros: The Blue color matches the plastic parts on my motherboard....got to look good!

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: They work

Pros: Latches work well, long enough for most cases, easliy bendable

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Darker blue than photo shows. Works for my set up but it was a suprise

Pros: -Matches my system color scheme
-Right angle connectors for easy connections to drives
-Standard 18" length is pretty much perfect for any full size tower, with a few exceptions
-Performs as expected

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I purchased four of these to completely replace my SATA cables in my build. Highly recommended.

Pros: Nice cable. The 90 degree plug is very handy for connecting to a hard drive. Seems to be well built.

Cons: 18' was a bit longer than I needed.

Pros: These cables are the perfect length for a mid tower case. My Sata MB ports are in the lower right hand corner of the motherboard and when reaching to the top of my Rosewill Destroyer case to hook up my cdrom ended up being pretty tight but did fit. The color of these were a dark blue which I was happy about. The picture I remember looking at were a light blue which really didnt go with system colors. All cables and clips work as advertised. I like the metal latchs provided. These are actualy the best Sata latching system i've worked with. Click in once inserted and must be depressed to release cable. If these dont clip to your MB or a device, it's more likely that the device just doesn't have the indents for the clips (mine wouldnt) in my Asus P7P55 WS MB. Data Transfer is right where it should be and all cables worked perfectly. One side is 90'd for ease of installation which is defintly nice. All in all these cables are great cables and do exactly what there suposed to.

Cons: Not really a con but if your looking into these cables to hook up devices a pretty good distance apart in anything larger then a mid tower, I would probably go with the next length. I fit these into my top mid tower devices with very little extra cable left over. When figuring cable length I always like to get 6-8" longer then the top to bottom case demension. This is due to the fact you lose an instant 2-4" in connections and need about the distance of the top of your case for your devices furthest from your sata mb ports. Of course for hard drives and devices closer to ports could go with shorter cords, though these are so thin that hiding is not a problem. Funny I get blue cables to color coordinate my case and I can't even see them when my case is open. Should of went with my MB's red cables. O well. Also if you have a little extra cable rather then cables that just fit, it makes them alot easier to tuck out of the way and hide.

This configuration is insane!! And im not even Sli'd yet!!!

Pros: Nice deep shade of blue. Has sturdy connectors/latches.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Free Shipping on these small pieces would be nice!

Pros: Sturdy, quality, good clips, heads not too large, color.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Worth the extra buck or two.

Pros: I bought 3 of these, they look small when wrapped up, but are a full 18" when you unwrap them. They appear to be solidly built with no flimsy parts or loose connections. They do what they need to do. The color is nice.

Cons: they're not free? you get what you pay for though.

Other Thoughts: I bought some of these and the green Xion cables to help organize the different raid configurations in my computer, so I know which disks are in which configuration. They look good, and they work. What more could you ask for?

Pros: Does what it's supposed to. They are colored so you can color-code your SATA cables.

Cons: None.
