    Is this a SATA 2 or SATA 3 cable?


    Hey, I got a new case today and it has an eSATA port on the front, the cable it is connected to is...

    NEW 20 inch - Serial ATA SATA I II Red 7-Pin 7PIN Data Cable • Copartner • AWM 21149 • 26AWG • E119932 • 80°C • 30V • VW-1 [YOULIKE-YOUBUY a division of LifeBeforeLandfill.com & GuitarSushi.com]

    I was wondering if this cable was a SATA 2 or 3 'cause I like to put things in the right ports on my motherboard (3GB SATA or 6GB SATA slot), I know a 6GB will work in a 3GB and vice versa but I like to get it right

I bought a sata3 ssd instead of a sata ssd- didn't read the package correctly. I've already cloned the sata3 drive. Is there a cable/adapter available that I can adapt the sata wiring to the sata3 drive? It's going into a Dell 545 desktop. Thanks. Mark

I have a hp pavilion DV7 (4180eb). It has a SATA 3 slot for 1 HDD but it's no regular sata cable and power cable: it's integrated in one cable. Has each laptop a specific sata cable?
