I own a SATA cable that I'm not confident about, but I'm curious to see if it's still functional.

Try it? Or test with a multimeter. Or discard them—they cost just a few dollars each.

Too inexpensive to risk it—just discard it and purchase a replacement.

Give it a shot. A SATA cable functions or it doesn’t; there’s no middle ground.

Absolutely, those issues are common. Hundreds of CRC errors in your SMART data can really impact performance.

It's evident the device is faulty. I didn't express myself clearly.

Thanks to everyone, I'll stop and grab some new cables.
