Poor quality rounded cables can cause data corruption. I ditched most of my rounded cables (bought them from SVC) because I was having data corruption issues. Just a fair warning.

What are your takes? I was wondering when I saw this post, but I'd like to buy some rounded cables.

Some have twisted pair wires... Some have a shield... Some have a grounded shield...
"All" rounded cables are not just slit up ribbon cables. 😛

 
My round cables died on me after 1.5 years. They worked perfectly fine on my old system, but I pulled them out and put them into my new rig and the HD refused to boot. Stuck in a POS cheap cable and it worked... Now how to get Vantec to replace this thing with their lifetime warranty...
 
I've used various rounded cables for a couple of years with zero problems. FWIW mine have a braided shield.
 
i had a few bad rounded cable from svc that went but they were floppy..

i even have a 34" rounded that had no problem, this exceed the 18" ide regulation.. not to say that poorly made cable are good either.
 
Performance can be affected by poor cables regardless of the shape. Round is not more prone to "poorness" than flat ribbons. You usually get what you pay for.
