HP 638813-001 SATA Hard Drive Data Cable connects a SATA drive to a compatible SATA connection in a computer. HP identifies this part number as a drive cable, suitable for use in a SATA storage setup.
It has two straight ends and measures 19 inches (483 mm). This straight-to-straight layout and length are useful details when matching the cable to a drive position and routing path.
HP’s guide lists it among drive cables and describes SATA connections for hard drives and optical drives. The cable provides the data link; it is not the separate SATA power cable.
