I apologies in advance for making such a rude post however, I just can NOT BELIEVE the difference Shielded SATA cable makes! I assembled a new system with Western Digital 1TB green HDD. I was getting 1.6mb/s read on average that took like 3 mins for my system to boot. I thought I got a bad drive however, after I wrapped the cable with aluminum foil tape, and attached a grounded wire to it, my HDD performance sky rocketed! My read speed reached over 90mb/S on average!
So Please shield and GND your SATA cables! It made a hudge difference for me!
it only costs like $2 to do it.
I recommend you use HD_Speed a free utility to test your hard drive performance. You can get it here:

I should post a youtube video of this someday![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
