I just took a chance - you read the reviews and it's like rolling the dice. I replaced cables (ASIN: B01GPD5KFK) bought in 2017 with these (ASIN: B01BTEYLEQ). You have greatly increased productivity! Using Diskspd.exe (test files 100 GB) I increased the speed from 26 MB/s to 54 MB/s and the file transfer was noticeably faster without any measurement. I'm using Intel VROC on a motherboard (Z11PA-D8) and two Seagate Barracuda mirror drives (ST8000DM0004).
