Make a left-angled connection to your SATA drive, for installation in tight spaces. The SATA12LA1 Left Angle (90-degree) SATA Cable features a standard (straight) SATA receptacle as well as a left-angled SATA receptacle, providing a simple 12-inch connection to a Serial ATA drive, with full SATA 3.0 bandwidth support of up to 6Gbps when used with SATA 3.0 compliant drives.The left-angled SATA connection enables you to plug in your Serial ATA hard drive in hard to reach areas or tight spaces, while the low profile and flexible design of the cable improves airflow and reduces clutter in your computer case, helping to keep the case clean and cool.As an alternative, StarTech.com also offers a 12in Right Angle SATA cable (SATA12RA1), which provides the same simple installation as this left angled SATA cable, but allows the cable to connect to the SATA drive from the opposite direction.
