     If your power supply already has a shielded VGA/HDD cable, I still recommend getting a set of these for your hard drives.  Shield the power going to your RAID array.

Conclusion

     The only real down side to the cables is they are considerably stiffer than the normal power supply cable.  I'm not going to count that against the cable though.  The cable is going to be stiffer because it has the copper shielding built into it.  Besides who wants to hide these cables anyway, they look nice.  The cables are easily worth the $14 price at Newegg, making these cables an outstanding value.  The OCZ cables are just what you need for your new video card or hard drive.  If you want to postpone getting that new power supply, but still want shielded cables these are for you.  Even if you have a new power supply, most only come with one shielded cable.  You are supposed to decide which component gets the cleaner power.  Maybe you have just bought that new nvidia 6800 Ultra.  That thing requires two power cables.  Are you just supposed to shield one side?  I may just pick up another package of these and shield all of my drives.  At $14.00 it's hard to beat.
