SATA Drive with "Good" cable connection

[Mr Bob]

I have noticed a lot of the time, my current SATA cable for my Seagate Barracuda drive keeps falling off the motherboard.

I installed a WD Raptor with the SecureConnect, and love how snug it is. I really would like to get a another SATA drive, ditch the seagate, and use the 2nd one in place of the seagate.

I need something about 200GB+, the drive must be very reliable, because it will be storing data that cannot be lost.

Is WD the only company with these better cable connections?

A few drives I found were:
WD Caviar SE WD2000JD 200GB Serial ATA Hard Drive $119 + shipping

Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500SD 250GB Serial ATA 7200RPM w/8MB Buffer $172 w/ free shipping


Is there anything else out there? What do you suggest I get?

One last thing, why do these drives have a 1 year warranty? I would prefer to get something that is 2-5 years.

I've never had any SATA cable fall off. The cable you were using must be worn, or the connection on the drive because mine run perfect

Just get another SATA cable......

The cable did this from the start. Other cables connect the same way too. It "fits", but it isnt snug, and can easily come off.
