Review on Corsair Premium Black Type Cable by Brian Garrett

I needed good quality SATA cables that were easy to route. I like the quality of the Sleeved SATA CableMod ModFlex cables and the number of different colors they offer, but they can be tricky to route in tight spots due to their rounded shape. I decided to try these Corsair premium cables with SATA sleeves. These cables also appear to be of high quality and, in my opinion, are easier to route through the housing due to their round shape. I have no opinion on the long term reliability of these cables, but I see no reason to believe they will develop any problems over time. Cable specs are not generally provided by manufacturers, so I've attempted to provide some measurements for two Corsair Premium Sleeved SATA cables. the cables I have and the two CableMod ModFlex SATA cables I have. I have an ASRock Taichi motherboard with eight stacked SATA connectors, so interference with SATA cable connectors was also an issue. I've had no issues with connector spacing when using Corsair or CableMod SATA cables.
