now it's quite typical to see people put a lot of consideration into things like
0:05
the sleeving job that's been done on the power supply they're buying or other
0:09
aesthetic factors when they're building their PC but you still see most people
0:14
using the SATA cables that come with their motherboard whether they're
0:18
hideous red or ugly yellow or whatever
0:21
they are so today I'm just having a look at a few different SATA cables these are some modmart SATA cables they come in a
0:26
variety of different lengths in a variety of different configur ations in
0:30
a variety of different colors so a couple things first of all we can get
0:34
them in either 10 in or 18in lengths and you can see that they're also available
0:38
with a variety of different connectors for example the red one I have here has
0:42
a right angle connector on it okay and also a straight connector whereas the
0:46
silver one is two straight connectors how about that but they also have some
0:52
other interesting attributes and the one that I'm about to grab uh that's
0:56
charging up on my light here is very interesting because
1:00
it is also glowi inthe darkar check that
1:03
out not everyone wants to have their cables only glow after they charge them
1:09
though so I'm going to show you a couple of the other colors that are available
1:12
these are the uh well red green and blue
1:15
ones and you actually need a black light or a UV light in order to make these
1:20
stand out at their best so I have a UV light it looks kind of purple if you
1:24
look at it directly but if you have the lights positioned in your case so that
1:28
you don't see the cathodes directly but rather you only see the things glowing
1:32
in their light the effect can be quite stunning so you can see that they're
1:35
glowing a little bit right now but when I turn the light off you'll see that
1:39
they get their full effect here so let me just show you I have the uh the blue
1:44
green and red ones on display here so
1:47
the blue is on your left and the green is in the middle and the red is on the
1:51
right it looks kind of pinkish but the effect is still pretty good when you
1:54
have it going in your case anyway thank you for checking out my uh there's my
1:58
smile thank thanks for checking out my unboxing of the modmart SAA cables
