I'm looking for SATA cables that are 90*, the other way. A quick check of newegg and petra's indicates that they do not exist. Hopefully this ms paint masterpiece will give enough of an idea of what I want.

would it be acceptable if the cable went to the left instead?

hmm, sorry that they dont even exist right now. But I think it has something to do with data movement through the wires in the sata cables. I read somewhere at one time or another, that even if bend youre sata cables at a 90 degree angle, or very sharp angle, data transfers may be corrupted or interrupted, its just the sata technology standard as far as I can tell. But I am preeeety sure thats why theres no such thing as 90* sata cables,

so I guess these won't work, you're looking for the turn on the slim side of the cable ?
