Review on Pack Of 12 BENFEI SATA Cable III 6Gbps With Locking Latch - 18 Inch Data Cables For Fast And Reliable Transfer Of SATA HDD, SSD, CD Driver Or CD Writer by Stephen Thomas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You get what you pay for

I purchased the three-pack of 180-180 cables in black in July of 2022 for $6.99. At the time, it was revain's Choice for "Sata Cables". It's a very low quality product. Two cables of the three-pack were dead on arrival.Outer jacketing is quite hard and somewhat brittle (cracked in some places due to how tightly they were folded in the packaging). The cable material makes cable routing quite hard.A very minor quip, but the speed class (SATA3 or 6 Gb/s) is not printed anywhere on the cable itself. It would be easy to throw this in storage and mix it up later for a SATA 1 cable. I was able to verify that these cables can do at least 500MB/s, indicating they are probably SATA3 cables, as advertised.Overall, 2/5 stars. One extra star over the minimum because it's a three-pack, so the chances of getting at least one working are pretty high. I'll be refunding these and looking for cables from another manufacturer.Thanks for reading this review, I hope this has helped you make an informed purchase.

Pros
  • Works as intended
Cons
  • The cables may be prone to wear and tear over time
