Default GA-X58A-UD7 Motherboard. How do I disconnect the Sata cables.

I have plugged in a Sata cable to the motherboard and it
went in with a 'click'. But how do I get it out again? I
can't find a reference anywhere.

You pull? That's the way it is with all other sata connectors.

I've tried this but I don't want to damage the motherboard.
Perhaps these Sata sockets were designed for the newer type
of plug - the ones with the little metal clip. I have gone
and plugged in one of the old type without the little metal
clip.

Try squeezing the plug - do you see a latch on it?

No latch. It just won't budge. I'll just leave it in
because I have plenty of other Sata sockets.

Anyway I've used it for an optical drive, even though it's
in a Sata3 socket.

One time I was pulling out a not-latched SATA cable from a hard drive
and when it finally gave, my hand smashed a cap off my video card.
