First google hit "SATA-II cable specification": http://www.satacable.com/ Second google site hit http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2076134&CatId=84 I've done business with Tiger Direct. They were prompt for delivery. Searching for things on their site was annoying, though. Adding "site:newegg" to the search gives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812207001 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812162003 First has a right angle connector. You were saying? {^_^}
