Yes, they do. Just bought a new GB mobo for a client and it came with two snazzy looking fluoro orange SATA cables with self-locking connectors. A good idea!

573071 2007-07-27 15:31:00 my little brother had a problem with his sata cable falling off; i spent hours puzzling over how to get his machine to reliably boot before calling a friend who said to check the cable lol

my asus board came with a sh*tload of sata cables, some of which had elbow-plugs, so the cable was perpendicular to the drive rather than sticking straight out of it.

but then again, they are also hard to pull out: aren't sata drives meant to be hot-swappable? i'm sure pulling on an extra tight plug on a live motherboard isn't a good idea
