    Crappy eSATA Cables

    I have used several eSATA cables and find them all to either not fit firmly or easy to break.
    If I want to move a eSATA device I have to be super careful to support the cable at the device to keep it from pulling out or the plastic part from breaking like a potato chip.

    Are there any know better cables out there. Some flexibility would be nice too.

    Re: Crappy eSATA Cables

    I hear you! I haven't broken anything "Yet" but the first time I plugged in, I was like, Hmm this is dodgy. Theres way to much "movement" and its just to brittle. I would think if there was a right angled plug like the Yellow SATA Cables that came with my MB then that would be stronger.
