Sufficient length for external GPUs

I bought them to use external GPUs for cryptocurrency mining operations. The SATA power cable inside the case wasn't long enough to extend outside the case and I needed something to get the "last mile" to the GPU riser (the board that connects the external GPU). This cable was the perfect length and easy to install. Since it's being used outdoors, I use a thin cable tie to secure the extension cable to the SATA power connector on the PSU so it doesn't accidentally come loose.

Pros

Flexible SATA extension cable eliminates the need to bend or stretch the SATA cable to accommodate the lack of space. This simplifies drive installation by overcoming typical connectivity limitations and reduces the risk of damaging the drive or motherboard SATA connectors by eliminating the need to pull or stretch the cable.

Cons
