Where to buy Rounded Ata133 cables....

[Valnir]

I'd make them myself, but those wires are pretty damn tiny

I am looking for cables that don't have the little hood around the connector like the rounded cables at Newegg.

In the Ata33 days I would take an exacto knife, seperate each wire, and wrap it in electrical tape. However around the connectors I left about 1/2 to 1 inch of unseperated wire so that it would be very flexible but still manageable.

If anyone knows where I can find cables like that, it would be most appreciated.

Thanx.

I don't know about ATA133 cables, but you can find ATA100 cables here.

Thanx. There spec's seem to suggest they are Ata133 compatible, so I'll think this will work

Indypc.com is the best place on the net to get rounded cable and the prices are unbeatable. I've talked to these guys in person and they are very helpful and know what they are talking about.

Does anyone know if rounded cables corrupt data? Are there any effects?

Only thing I've noticed from my rounded cables is that my case has better air-flow. Haven't had any problems with corrupted data or the like but if not done correctly I'm sure that rounded cables could increase the chances of "cross-talk", but I don't think it's that likely with manufactured, shielded rounded cables.

ATA133, ATA100 & ATA66 all use the same cables btw.

I was going to point out what chris said, but I'm simply too slow.
