SSD to SSD clone

What is a reputable brand for SATA to USB cable? I just got my Samsung 840 Pro and would like to clone my existing Kingston SSD to it.

Thank you!
 
Unless I'm missing something, you will need to keep both of those drives plugged into the SATA ports on the mobo... no need for a SATA - USB cable.

You're right! Dumb me totally missed that!

EDIT > Bah, I dont have access to a desktop. I gotta find someone with a desktop. Thats why I asked for the SATA USB cable.

Just buy a usb dock and clone it. I've cloned using one however its much slower than if you use an esata port. The only problem is using software that can see the docked drive to clone.
 
I used Acronis just recently to clone into my new SSD, and then clone the old SSD from my HTPC's old HDD. Pretty much worked like a charm, and it does it outside Windows (using the utility disk.)
