is going to be a very short little review, as this is one
of those products you can't say much about, other than:
Nice.
It's the little things in life that count, when you really
think about it. Things like nice spring mornings, pretty
birds, and cute puppies. Oh yes. And computer gear that
kicks ass. That's right up there with the puppies in my
books. A short time ago I was looking through the catalogue
from one of our long time suppliers of boring old stuff
like hubs and routers and cables and I saw something new...
Something tasty.. something round and pretty and so handy
it made me scratch my head and ask myself "Why hasn't
anyone come up with this before?" Sure many of us have
attempted to reduce the wiring hell inside our cases by
replacing those big fat nasty flat IDE ribbons with nice
rounded cables, but Startech.com has added something very
neat to the whole thing. Built in power cables. Right into
the rounded IDE cable itself. So rather than having a cable
coming off your power supply and going down to each of the
drives on the cable, you've got one power supply lead going
into the plug at the end of the cable, and each drive has
a little lead right near the IDE connector. No fuss, no
muss. Things look a little neater, with less cableage running
around your case. Highly recommended, and the fact that
it's available in different colors is nice for yea old case
moding.

the bluriness on the photo, it seems that blue lighting
doesn't photograph too well, and my hands aren't the steadiest
either.)
