Hello!

I am still building my first NAS (which is actually not for me):
  • Mainboard: Supermicro X10SDV-4C+-TLN4F bulk (MBD-X10SDV-4C+-TLN4F-B)
  • RAM: Crucial DIMM 16GB, DDR4-2666, CL19, ECC (CT16G4WFD8266)
  • PSU: Corsair SF750 Platinum (SFX/80+)
  • Case: SilverStone Case Storage DS380, Mini-ITX (SST-DS380B)
  • HBA: InLine 76617E, 4x SATA, PCIe 2.0 x1 (the Mainboard has only 6 SATA ports)
  • SATA-Cables: Supermicro Spare 2FT Amphenol SATA CB
  • HDDs: WD Red 4TB WD40EFRX
  • SSD: Intenso High Performance interne SSD 120GB (6,3 cm (2,5 Zoll), SATA III, 520 MB/Sekunden) schwarz – 120 GB – Sata 2,5

In this thread where I ask for help about suddenly detached HDDs, @Samuel Tai said "You should try to get shorter cables.".

In fact, being German, I've ordered 20 of those Supermicro Spare 2FT Amphenol SATA CB cables without thinking about that "2FT" could actually mean "60 centimeters", ending up in a nerve-wrecking fiddling:

Can anyone recommend short, easy-to-handle SATA cables?

I've found these so far:

Technically, if you were to paint your car red, it would run faster. Just kidding.
Either cable should work.
If any advantages, I would think the round cable should provide for and easier cable management and tolerate for a more natural bending/flexing due to the increase in range of motion.

Latch isn't really necessary so it is up to you.
