How flexible are SATA cables?

I have been trying to do a good job on my cables, and I was doing O.K. until I got to the SATA cables. I have 3 cables and they look like crap. I really didn't know where to put them and they're just a mess. I don't have any extra cables, so I'm not sure just how flexible they are. I was going to try folding them flat and using a twistie to tie them together. But I'm not sure it it would work or not. I don't need a wire breaking inside the cable. Just how flexible are they?

As long as you don't bend it back and forth, it should be fine.
you can bend them 180 leaving a small "loop" section in the bend. I certainly wouldnt press them flat, that will risk breaking them
They're pretty flexible lol i had one sitting on my desk for like 6 months, i folded it like 100 times because it was something to play with lol
still works

really really flexible i have done everything to mine and still it is working normal.
Never had a broken SATA cable, and I have used mine as a play toy and bent them and twisted them alot.

They have been just standard SATA cables from Boards, HDDS, ODDs, and the one time I bought a pack of them.
They're extremely flexible, you can see mine bent on the left side of my rig. (they are kind of blocked by the PCIe cables)

I find it fits a ton of situations


I need some new pics though, this one is way overused.
