Best Sata-300 Cables to purchase

As I said in the post above, no, there is no difference in any sata cable apart from quality, ones that are labeled sats 6gbs is just marketing.

Or in other words, there's no real difference apart from quality, if you've got bad cables trying to up the speed isn't going to help.

thanks for that..

This seems interesting "Cables already at the threshold of 3Gb/s operating margins may experience lower performance than expected at 6Gb/s due to an increased number of resends."

So 6gb/s requires more resending channels. you would think that the cable spec would be different, however not the case!!!

Better quality cables make it easier to achieve the 6gb/s mark!!!

No not channels, what it's saying is that it's sending the data packets faster, which increases the chance for a bad packet with poor quality cables, which will have to be resent.
It's a combination of wire thickness, quality and shielding.
Faster transmission times and smaller packets increases the sensitivity and makes disruption easier.
it's an old issue with pc's (and on a side note it's why they don't use low nm fab chips in space)
