i bought this cable to attach an E-IDE HDD to a mobo with a single IDE channel (it uses SATA for everything). But I didnt want to give up the E-IDE HDD. Anyway, the mobo wound up coming with a rounded E-IDE cable even though it wasnt listed on the box so I didnt need this cable.

I wound up using it in a friends older PC, replacing an older flat IDE ribbon cable. Since installing this cable in that PC, there have been no issues but, more importantly, using this rounded cable has done wonders for air flow in that PC and we're seeing the temp quite a bit lower than when the ribbon cable was in use.

As described. But I was looking for a longer distance between the primary and the secondary connectors. This one has the normal distance, but otherwise, it's space saving.

That's where all of the myriad cables hide and do their 'thing'. I bought two of these cables to replace original equipment and I've had no problem with either of them. In fact, they are easier to pull out and plug back in better than the cables they've replaced. They also arrived quickly after my order.
