I have two SATA cables in my system, one for each disk drive. One SATA cable came with the disk that was bundled in my system. The other SATA cable is used with a 4 TB internal hard drive that I added. As far as I can tell, both cables are the same. Most of the SATA cables in my collection came with various disk drive kits that I have acquired over the years. They all look alike.
I also have an ESATA cable. This involves a regular SATA cable inside the box to a header to an external ESATA cable (which is shielded). This connects to a Blac-X device that has a slot into which one can drop an internal drive and use it externally. Normally this slot is unused ant the Blac-X device not powered up. I use this for off-site backups.
During normal audio playback there is no activity on any of these SATA cables, as far as I am aware of. As such, they are definitely not in the audio signal path on my system. It was a deliberate decision on my part to play out of a RAM disk, and this was based in part on sound quality issues. It also provides a convenient way for me to store my library in FLAC and yet play WAV files.
