August 30, 20232 yr Hello together, to have a proper connection between harddrive and controller I would like to buy new cables. My existing red break out cables don't have metal holders/clips at the end of the cable for example. Any recommendations? I found the following on amazon: YIWENTEC Mini SAS 36P sff-8087 zu 4-SATA-Festplatte mit Kabel 0.5m deleyCON 3x 50cm SATA 3 Nylon Kabel Set Datenkabel 6 Gbit/s Anschlusskabel Verbindungskabel Mainboard HDD SSD Festplatte 2 S-ATA Stecker Gerade Rot This is in Germany (amazon). Bye.
August 30, 20232 yr Author I ordered those. Especially for the breakout cables we don't have a lot of choices in Germany...

Some drives are incompatible with the metal clips, and the clip cables tend to NOT have the required internal retention features. https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/15954/kw/Clip Jam 8gb MP3 not working/related/1

The cable is not directly connected to the drive itself. The metal clip fits just fine to the HD case. Thanks!
