Sata cable problem for MBP 15 MID2012

Hello from Russia!

Can u tell me what the difference between 821-1492-01 and 821-1492-A?

I got MBP 15 Mid 2012 and i tried to install 3 different SSD, and they all not recognized. All firmwares updated to the last version. Guys from iFixit forum tells me that i need to change this Sata cable because its old, and i need to find "01" version. I can buy only from ebay and aliexpress, where all customers only got "A" version and dont know is it support sata 3 or no...

Plz help me to figure it out...

I'm sorry you're having problems getting the better cable. Let me do a bit of searching. Whats likely happening here is the older cables are stacking up and the suppliers are trying to get rid of them.

There are two different cable versions of this Cable:

821-1492-01 (was recommended)

821-1492-A (what you have)

They Are Backwards-Compatible, yes. You aren't losing anything by using your A version.

@alinorne - Keven, Sorry to say they are different! Apple in its wisdom put in a SATA II drive in this series when it first came out. They didn't test the cable with a SATA III drive so many of the older cables just don't work well with SATA III drives the system can support which is why you need to upgrade it.

@danj just making a note here so I too, can find a good source. Have not run into this issue as I mainly upgrade with SSHD s that seem to run fine with the older cable.

@alinorne what u mean? I'm loosing everything when using 821-1492-A because it doesn't work wit any SSD + My HDD Sata 3 only working in Sata 2 mode.

I protest entirely, until you get me some empirical evidence.

Exhibit 1: Here's the cable, advertised as backwards compatible, many sources do the same: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Apple-Macboo...

Exhibit 2: The proof it works - https://youtu.be/GX39WZjCI_8

I am running a 821-1492-A in my Mid- 2012 MBP with serial number C02KJ1Z0F1G3, system profiler is showing a link speed of 6 Gigabit on my 1TB Samsung 840 EVO. It's run great for a long time, with very high operating hours on that drive, boots in about 8 seconds, super fast.

Exhibit 3: Consider this logic;The Math, 2 + 2 = 4. Are they equal? Yes they are! Are they IDENTICAL? No, only 4 is identical to 4; 1 + 3 is also equal to 4, but not identical, literally, to 4.

I stick to my answer!

@alinorne @danj I'm having a difficult time actually finding that part without having to pay double for it. Were there also different cables on the 13" model ( I need to order today)? The part Apple is replacing (for free) on the 13" is 604-07597 on the shipping enclosure.
