Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Cable Matters 2-Pack 20-Inch SATA Extension Cable - 22-Pin Power and Data by Sam Sergio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

bought to connect installed internal drives with external field service adapter

to remove them from your computer. You can also insert drives into an open laptop bay without turning the laptop over. Most of the expansions I've found are too bulky to fit into laptop bays and "toaster" style external drive adapters. With these I was able to easily use a precision knife to remove the outer rubber grommet on the narrow side of the connector and replace the removed grommet with some PSV to cover the then exposed side of the power connector. They work great, are easy to change this way, and have negligible speed loss (less than 5%, which during my testing may have been normal operating system overhead) compared to a drive plugged directly into my UASP USB3 adapter connected. They're really well made and don't "fall apart" when I removed the mentioned rubber boot piece. They are essential for field drive maintenance technicians.

Pros
  • only positive
