The cables are well made although much more fragile than a standard SATA cable. It was long enough (actually too long) for my standard tower body. Overall, I wouldn't recommend plugging and unplugging these cables frequently due to their flimsy design, but they get the job done flawlessly. There are retaining clips on the SATA side, which is nice. The only problem I had might be my SAS RAID card, but the numbered stickers on the cable were reversed. Cable 1 was actually port 4 on my card, so I would advise anyone using these cables to confirm the port order and use their own number stickers instead.
