Is there a minimum length for SATA cables

Nope, only a maximum.

I would really like something no more than 3 0r 4 inches
long as the Board connectors are more or less right next
to the back end of the HD's and having 8 plus inches of
cable looping around in the case is a pain

Tad anal.

and I understand it is not a good idea to cable tie them flat.

Tying them flat should not be a problem with SATA cables.
They are twisted-pair and have very low field emmission
and very high tolerance to external fields.

My MSI 1U rack server came with a SATA cable about 3 inches long. I'm
sure you could find what you want at one of the online custom cable
shops.

If I want opinion

It aint opinion, its fact.

I'd have asked for it

You have always been, and always will be completely and utterly
irrelevant. What you might or might not have asked for in spades.

but as usual thanks for your usual insightful opinion.

No thanks for your pathetic excuse for bull****.

Roddy I see nothing's changed you are and always will be a complete

Bye
