I found this Orange SATA cable at a shop in Lamington Road - it is from a MSI motherboad's box. The clips on the connectors make a very firm and positive connection with the SATA sockets. If you find a place who has a lot of these cables let me know as I want to get 2 more. These MSI cables are more flexible than the normal Red SATA cables and cost me 25/-.

EDIT: I have been told that the right angled SATA cables are also available in Lamington Road though I did not check.

well things took a nasty turn and i had to cancel stuff for today and go to lamington road.. and after banging heads like shantanu.. i found a guy who had what i wanted after asking over 20 dumbos.. seriously they are worse wrt to knowledge.. and i dont mean that i am the smartest one.. anyways update your list of hardware with this one.. 'Computer Selection' this is the shop where i found those nice MSI sata cables, its amongst the shops opposite the police station.. there you go .. now you can enlighten others with this info as me unto you.. god bless america :p india for computer parts

DARN !!! and I went and had a big argument with these guys a few days back about a RMA on a DVD writer I bought from them which they were not the least bit interested in getting replaced. :(
