SATA cable length

VinnyTAMU · 02-14-06, 09:11 AM

Does SATA cable length affect data transfer speeds? I am in need of a longer SATA cable (36" over my current 18") will this affect any of my transfer speeds? The two drives that I am using are 74Gb Raptor and Deskstar 250gb.

SATA's maximum cable length is 1 meter (39inch).
