What's wrong with these new cables and any other experiences like these?
What brand name motherboards are you using? I have been using MSI (Microstar), ASUS, Intel and have not had any problems with the cables supplied in their kits.
The thin wire IDE cables support ATA100/133. The regular IDE cables support upto ATA66. I would suggest you buy (or borrow) known good quality ATA100/133 cables and ensure there are no sharp folds in the ribbon layout.
If you have an ATA100/133 HDD, connected with a "regular" IDE cable then the performance scale down.
