I'm looking for an External SATA cable. I've tried Memory Express BCOM and OEM Express and none of them carry one. If you know where I can buy one, let me know.

Curious, what is the difference?

Shielding?

THIS gives a pretty good explanation of the differences.

One of the big differences is that eSATA has much longer cables, this one I have here is over double the length of a normal SATA cable. The connector is different. eSATA cables are indeed shielded.
