    SATA cables

    Did a search, could not find (maybe I am not looking correctly) but what do you do with the red and grey SATA cables? I have them in a bucket with the ribbon cable I am going to cut the ends off of but are the sata cables the same? What do you guys do with them?

    Same thing, ends are gold connectors. You can save a bunch up and sell them as well.

    Cut off the gold plated connectors & throw them in a bucket. You can sell them when you get enough.
    The cables themselves can sell for MORE than ribbon cable.
    Depending on what yard you use, you can either get 35% OR 50% yield insulated copper price.
