    Does anyone know where to get these? i can only find long ones. My hard drives are right next to the SATA ports on my mobo.

    I think the shortest I've seen were 45cm long.

    I'm pretty sure that they only come in certain lengths because of the line characteristics of the SATA cable, i.e. it needs to be a certain minimum length to be able to carry the signal. CAT5 cable is the same way iirc.
