I used to think "a cable is a cable, color does not matter", but I have 
experienced many storage hardware issues over the years that were caused 
by red SATA cables.  Other readers on this list have had similar 
experiences.  The explanation is chemistry -- the red dye slowly 
corrodes the conductors and/or contacts.  Since replacing all of my red 
SATA cables with black locking 6 Gbps SATA cables, all of my storage 
hardware issues have been due to failed HDD's.
