Well, basically i've read something about this, can't remember where..but well basically some geezer explains how to 'trim' your SATA cables to the length you want them (and not 13" longer then you actually need!).
I had a bash last night, got a decent cable, cut one of the ends of, cut the cable to the length i wanted it, and then soldered the end back on to the cable, making sure that the cables went in the right place (4 DATA cables and then 3 GND cables).
Once i finished, whacked it in, connected a spare SATA harddrive, worked perfectly.
So tomorrow, I'm going to go and buy about 10 of them and do the same to all of them, and then hopefully get my RAID 10 from this:

to: well, something like this:

Once i've finished, i'll probably post some pics and stuff, benchmark before and after and see if it's made an(if any) improvement.
Or well, give back something because i've learn shed loads from you peoplz.
