An internal cable for SATA disks in your computer? The max length is 39 inches. *

Or do you want an E-SATA cable?

6" is very short for a sata cable, I don't think you'll find one.

6' is impossibly long for a sata cable, wont find one of those either.

Since they are so flat though, you can shorten one pretty easily by just folding it back on itself, taping it up, and sleeving it (if you want).

I think bending spirally is better than folding it:



Taken from Silver's post.

Just wrap it around a Marker or a thick pen, and it will form the spiral.

forthe hard drive to the mobo.... I only have 12"'ers.... they do sell 6" but only in the states.... they want 4 bucks for the cable, but 27 for shipping...... I think not....


I did the spiral thing, but its still toooooo long in my opinon.... heres a photos...

I didn't find 6", but I did find 8" if you are interested. You can find them at Monoprice.com
Even though it is a US store, the shipping is still really cheap. I checked for a Windsor postal code and it was only $1.94 for shipping with 2 cables. And the cables are only $0.74 a piece.

I have gotten stuff through them before and it is always good quality.

you might wanna check out Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come
american, but the shipping was very reasonable when i ordered some sixer's a while back.
