You do, atleast if price is any indicator. Seriouly, why pay 25 bucks for one, when you can round your own for free. Its realy easy. Take a sharp razor blade and slit between every 6th cable or so, just for a half inch. Then take your fingers and pull them apart. Be sure to pull down, not out, or itl take the insulation off. If you need better directions there are plenty of guides on the web. Just go to google and search for round ide cables.

I round my own, except ata 100- they fold quite well instead. All out of the way nice and neat.

I make my own, except the ATA 100s, I bought one of those, a nice silver one from sidewidercomputers.com.

Also, remember, only start the cut with a blade, then use your fingers to separate...

Make your own!! it is very easy.... and a lot cheaper!!! if you do cut them then go in groups of 5 or 8 strands otherwise just fold them and use zip ties...
