powermac G4 SATA HDDs colocation.

[powermi]

Hello, this morning I was installing new HDDs on my powermac G4 and noticed that the sata wires on the disks side are heavily angled, they work but I don't know if on the long term will be damaged.
I was wondering if anyone here had deal with it or as a tip.

cheers

I'd say if they're not causing you problems now, they're not likely to start causing you problems. I'm assuming of course that, being a desktop computer, your PowerMac isn't subjected to a lot of movement which could exacerbate the potential problem. Of course, if you're on a ship at sea, or you live in a geologically active area, this may not apply...

Anyway, it would be useful to see a photo, so we can tell what exactly you mean by "heavily angled."

I use one of those "ultra thin" SATA cables, very bendable.

Thanks.. the thing is that I'm bit paranoid about data in general, and wanna keep everything in place, Ill take a look to the ltra thin sata cables.
