i'm about to oder an oem sata drive and i need a cable for it. the drive is a sata2(300mb/sec) and i want to get the most out of it. are all sata cables the same ? or do i need to find a sata 2 cable. all the cables i'm looking at online say 150mb/s max. will they work in sata mode w. a satA drive??

this is the only SATA 2 cable on newegg so that leads me to believe there are more out there. just gotta find them.
