I have SATA one cables/connectors, and they do come loose when fiddling in the case, but otherwise they are fine (when the case is closed and the machine is running. However, I do prefer the locking cables and jacks in SATA II. You might look at Newegg as your vendor, I believe I saw some there: http://www.newegg.com. Alternatively, I got some SATAII cables from, oddly enough, Microcenter, that were good priced and worked well. -Jim Stapleton On 8/2/06, Eric <heli@mikestammer.com> wrote: > On 1 Aug 2006 at 17:23, Nikolas Britton wrote: > > > The number one problem I've had with SATA RAIDs has been the cables! 4 > > times I've lost arrays because the cables came loose or some other > > stupid problem with the cables. > > > > I need a vendor that has high quality latching SATA-II cables.
