Product Description
This right angled SATA cable features a standard (straight) female Serial ATA connector as well as a right-angled (female) SATA connector, providing a simple 18in connection to a Serial ATA drive even if space near the drive's SATA port is limited. Once the right-angled SATA connector has been inserted into the drive's SATA data port, the shaft of the cable is seated flush with the rear panel of the drive, eliminating the clutter of excess cable at the connection point - an ideal solution for small or micro form factor computer cases. The right angled SATA cable features a thin, narrow construction that helps to improve airflow within the computer case; the cable also features a rugged, yet flexible design that makes it easy to make the SATA connection as needed, and is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty. As an alternative, StarTech.com also offers an 18in Left Angle SATA cable (SATA18LA1), which offers the same simple installation as this right angled SATA cable, but allows the cable to connected to the SATA drive from the opposite direction.

StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1) Reviews
| 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Note the 90 degree plug, This review is from: StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1) (Electronics) When buying this cable, note that one end has a 90 degree angled plug. This can be either an advantage or problem depending on the available space in your machine. In my case it made connecting two adjacent cables somewhat challenging. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Works as intended, but be wary of the direction of the right angle end., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1) (Electronics) As the title suggests. However, be mindful of where you're using the cable in your computer. The right angle end of the SATA cable is built in a way where the cable will be directed downwards when inserted properly. So theoretically, if you're inserting the right angle end of the cable into a hard drive that's placed in the bottom of your computer and faces the computer cover (such as the Dell XPS 420), then the cable will need to loop upwards towards the other SATA insert, which will create tension to the wiring when placing the cover back in place. That's not the manufacturer's fault, of course, but again, be careful. 29 of 37 people found the following review helpful  Not an angled connector on mine, By Josip Juraj Strossmayer (DeKalb, IL USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: StarTech 18in SATA to Right Angle SATA Serial ATA Cable (SATA18RA1) (Electronics) I took to heart the previous reviews, cautioning that one of the connectors was 90 degrees and pointing upwards. Exactly what I needed for my Dell. The cable I got had straight connectors on both ends! With a very sharp kink on the cable the cover closed with a push and the drive runs. However, I will not be surprised if the cable fails. My guess is a wrong cable was mailed. The cable is called on the shipping slip SATA18RA1 (RA=right angle?). The bag itself has only single marking (0.5 m = ca. 18 inches as advertised). There is no good way was the person pulling the order to know if it is an angled connector or not except to know the merchandise an look. I will see if I can return it, but at the price of the cable and cost of shipping and hassle, this seems hardly worth it. Even this review is costing me more time than is the cost of the cable. Still, I use other people's reviews, so I thought I would return the favor. |
