Are all SATA connectors cr*p?
Hi All,
I've just built my first box with only SATA drives and I don't know if it's just the cables that came with this Asrock mobo that are cr*p or they are all the same but they are *very* easily pulled out (certainly in comparison with a new IDE cable that's for sure). So much so that I was thinking of hot melt gluing them on! Any suggestions please .. do they make 'secure' fixing SATA cables? All the best .. T i m |

They ain't the only ones. Got a EVGA and a Foxconn mobo.Both had the crappy
sata connectors. The EVGA mobo had a list price of $179. The foxcon was cheap. "Pipboy" wrote in message ...
