SATA Cable: Does this come included with a SATA cable?

Apparently not! I just received mine in the mail and was shocked that it didn't, considering that the title, page, and other reviews say nothing about it being OEM.

yes it comes with 4 SATA cables--2 straight on both ends, and 2 straight on 1 end, right angle on the other.

Yep. Appears that this seller is being a bit deceptive and leading people that he is selling retail versions instead of OEM. I can only suggest that you go to Best Buy (or a local computer store) and buy a SATA drive connection cable.

It does NOT, as it's an OEM product (bare bones, just the drive). You can pick up a SATA data cable from amazon or one of it's 3rd party amazon marketplace sellers.

I used this on sata2 computer and I think the retail version comes with the sata cable and the y cable. If you get the non-retail version aka oem, you may have to get you own cable.

Yes it is. The SATA cable is a common failure on machines with serial numbers ending in 66D, 66E, ATM or ATN.

No it does not. You would have to order one specifically for an SATA drive.

Yes it has a SATA connection as that is the interface it is designed to use. For further details go to OEM website: http://www.asus.com/us/Optical_Drives/DRW24B3ST/

There are no SATA cables provided. If you're going to use two drives, you need two SATA cables. However, only one power cable is needed which is nice.

I don't remember it coming with a SATA cable... and if for some reason it did they are usually 9inches - 12 inches.

You need a standard SATA cable, not E-SATA cable up to level 3.0. you only need to order one that's long enough for your installation.

Yes, it will have the SATA cable for data. It will not have a power cable. As another poster commented, the power supply usually comes with myriad cables.

Yes, with SATA cables... I had to buy one extra SATA cable (I use 3 SATYA devices: LG BD-RW internal drive, VERTEX 4 128GB OCZ SSD and a 500GB WD Caviar Blue HDD)

Yes, SATA data cable and SATA power adapter are included, along with software. You should not need to buy any additional cables or software. Does not come with screws/fasteners. However, some others here say they only received a bare drive without cables or software. Odd. It didn't come in retail packaging, but it came with everything needed.

This is a USB3 HUB (it only "extends" USB3, NOT provide it)AND it has nothing to do with SATA so you will never need an SATA cable.It will plug into an existing USB3 socket OR comes with a 19 pin cable toconnect to a Mother Board socket or add-in card.PS: The product description leaves a lot to be desired.More pictures would be a big plus.

The one I received does not come with the cables that were in the description, and certainly not with all the cables I needed. I had to go to EBay (Seasonic and their 'authorised distributors' were useless) to locate additional cables.The one I got included:1 24-pin ATX system board connection1 8-pin or 4-pin CPU connector4 PCIe 8-pin or 6-pin connectors5 peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors10 SATA connectors1 floppy power adapter (which consumes one of the peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors)

Yes, it comes with SATA cables. Don't pair this MB with a cheap power supply, get a good one, for plug-in/configurable SATA power feeds.
