I have sata on 2 hp media center pcs.  I added a second drive to one a 
year ago, I think it was a Western Digital drive and I needed to obtain 
a second sata cable.  Apparently, due to the small size of the 
connector, Western Digital offers a more secure cable (WD Secure 
Connect) with a larger connector that attaches to their drive.  This 
reduces problems with the cable coming loose due to vibration, etc.  I 
also see cables available with a small snap on clip to help secure it.  
I'm not familar with sata1.
