Mad Dog Multimedia 37" UV SATA Cable Review

S-ATA's small transfer cable has caught the attention of modders because they are more flexible and allow users to easily route the cable throughout their cases. Up until recently there really weren't a lot of modded SATA cables, and we were stuck with the standard red or black cables that came with our motherboards. These OEM SATA cables are generally very short, at around 15 inches, which prevents a lot of clever cable routing even in smaller cases. Serial ATA cables are begging to be routed, as they are so thin they can easily fit behind case components and can be tucked away without being seen, leaving one's case looking so much neater.

Mad Dog Multimedia has answered the modder's pleas for a tricked-out SATA cable. These cables feature the standard speeds for SATA-2 as well as some additional enhancements. These cables are UV reactive and are slightly more responsive than an OEM cable. Mad Dog Multimedia has also implemented a locking mechanism in the connector head to prevent accidental unplugging. They come in 3 different colors (blue, green, and clear), which provides more than just a custom look: you can use a set of colors to visually designate particular drives or clusters of drives.
