SATA cable

[Qacer]

I recently purchased a Seagate SATA drive from here:

I'm not familiar with SATA drives, yet. The SATA data cables that I've seen either say "supports up to 150MB/s" or "up to 1.5Gbps transfers". I also read that SATA 3.0Gbps and 1.5Gbps are backwards compatible, so my drive should work. But I'm not too sure about the cable's effects on the data rate.

My question is: is there such a thing as a SATA 300MB/s or 3.0Gbps data cable?

Thanks!

There is no difference in transfer speeds between cables - SATA cable and SATA II cables are the same.

There might be a lock/snap-in clip on a SATA II connectors, but cables themselves are identical.

Anyway, desktop hard drives don't hit anywhere near 3.0Gbps. I don't think they've even maxed out the 150 standard.

Thanks! I also did some extra readings, and found at the same thing.
