what is the MINIMUM length for sata cables?

[mcveigh]

I have a sata raid card and 2 drives, they are close to each other and I don't need the 18inch cables that came with it.
what is the minimum spec for cables?

I don't think there is a minimum spec... I would imagine as small as you can find them is just fine.

http://www.cmtcables.com will make any size you want
plus they have pre-made ones as short as 9"

I'm using two of these 12" SATA cables in my system.
