    Link, #1??

    Still, this is a good price, especially with free shipping. I did some research recently, online, because I wanted to stock up on these specific cables. ~$2 is a good price, free shipping makes it even better!

    I have these long cables coming out my ears! Ok, not really, but they come with every motherboard and every SATA drive. They are too long even for use inside my servers.

    I'd love to see shorter SATA cables with 90 deg connector on 1 end so they wouldn't shake lose inside disk arrays due to all the excess cabling. 6 inches would be plenty long.

    There's a great project on extremetech using adapters like these to make a switch to select harddrives. I'm going to snap up one of these deals to construct another switch. Works really well to be able to dual-boot boot Win7 without disrupting my current setup.

    Try using a minor amount of intelligence and add ".com" onto the name supplied by #1.

    #9, my search there drew a blank. Guess I have to pass up on these PS deals.

    #3: you can find decent 12" sata cables in lots of 10 for about $18 shipped at a popular auction site.
