LVD are usually orange interwoven cables, with a terminater at the end.
You can get cables without terminaters, but you will need them. The drive
may seem to work, but you will end up with problems from my experence ( A
few hundred systems built/installed/configured, 3 this week alone!)
Most controlers dont come with cables, unless its a retail kit or a raid
controller.
How much did the cable cost you? The cable should have costed $100au and
above for a LVD one.
We have them, Im not too sure about the cost..
