| 573061 | 2007-07-26 21:53:00 | God had me worried there for a minute, The title implied no more Seagate HDDs. Just no more IDE, not surprising really, its all going sata. |

| 573063 | 2007-07-26 22:03:00 | I dunno, I like them. They're easy to fold neatly and tuck out of the way. You try folding or tucking a sata cable. |

| 573065 | 2007-07-27 00:13:00 | Better stock up then.. PATA drives that is.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 573066 | 2007-07-27 00:15:00 | Maybe they should improve the connectors for SATA. They come off quite easily. | bk T (215) | ||
| 573067 | 2007-07-27 04:50:00 | Cable ties :cool: Yes but you pull it out of the way and it pulls straight off the connector. Thats what I mean, and they don't curve well. |

| 573068 | 2007-07-27 05:08:00 | You can get cables with little clips that stay a little more secure | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 573069 | 2007-07-27 05:13:00 | Yeah, I think Gigabyte mobos come with those...? not sure. I don't like buying sata cables on their own.. you shouldn't need to. The cables with clips work well, but I have to say I've never really had a problem with normal cables coming off, but I can see how it could be a problem. ;) |
