My cable is like brand new. I checked with other HDDs before I hooked the oldest HDD I can confirm having. I find USB to be more kooky than SATA! I also actually had more issues with PATA than with SATA!i'd still try other sata cables, they can be kooky sometimes .
With USB, you can't tell that it's got a bad connection sometimes, unless you have at least one of the following symptoms:
Windows logs errors in the event log about the USB drive.
You have Windows on a USB stick and it loads very slowly and likely a BSOD occurs. Especially if it loads very slowly and then it reboots itself.
General strange slowness.
Explorer.exe crashes.
