What sets these two SATA cables apart when connected to the 6-pin power supply? Could using them affect the hard disk's electrical integrity, making it more susceptible to issues with the printed circuit board?

If this is something you're plugging into a modular power supply, don't use anything other than official cables or known good manufacturers of said cables (like from Cable Mod). There's no guarantee the pinout on the PSU side are the same between companies or even models within the same company. The connectors might be keyed in a way to prevent physical insertion, but this isn't a guarantee.
