[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1592151, member: 46727"] No, the same cable will work for both a spinning drive and a SSD. The Crucial tech was correct. The SATA cable is in an area where heat builds up and this causes the cable to become brittle and break internally. We recommend changing the cable each time you replace the hard drive in the models that use that particular cable. Newer machines where the SSD is integrated to the Logic board in a special socket - connector do not use a SATA cable. [/QUOTE]
