Here's one of those "extremely ignorant, rude, malicious and disingenuous individuals":
How on earth can a SATA cable delivering 0s and 1s to their respective destination have any effect on those 0s and 1s? The answer is, it can’t. Unless it’s a magical one made of pixie shoes. After all, if a SATA cable was so poor as to cause errors in the transmission of data, you wouldn’t be able to listen to the music in the first place: your operating system wouldn’t boot, and in the case of a NAS device, well, it just wouldn’t work.

I have withdrawn the article that appears to have upset so many computer enthusiasts.
I realise that the opinion I expressed in it was contentious but the reaction from some individuals was way too extreme. I think that wishing death upon someone because they wrote how they witnessed a change in the way their hi-fi sounded when they swapped a cable in a NAS is a bit of an over-reaction. Anyone in my office, including my wife and children, can read my email and they were not impressed by this and the volume of similarly aggressive correspondance.
I know full well that it is ‘scientifically’ not possible for a data cable to exert such influence but I know what we heard and hoped that maybe someone might be able to throw some light on what might be going on. While a couple of people kindly wrote and did just that most people simply said “It’s just ones and noughts, you stupid (expletive),” which wasn’t especially helpful."
To which I say, if you stop talking out your ass, more of us will be less inclined to assist Darwin on your behalf, Mr Steward. :-)
