It doesn't make much difference in the Xbox.  The BIOS/Kernel does not seem to use the higher speeds a different cable provides.

However, for many people using a SATA HDD / IDE-to-SATA adapter combo, an 80-wire 40-pin high-speed cable is required for the drive to work reliably.  Otherwise, error 07 sometimes occurs. Change the IDE cable to the high-speed one; the error goes away.

Note: the 24" are slated to be in stock May 16th. Cable wholesale sometimes has them on their site direct for less money. What's nice about the 24" cable is you just use the blue end on the hard drive, and you have plenty of space to manage the motherboard and dvd connector.  

Other options of course were listed above but i've used over 100 of these with no issues.

I fully agree about the 24" one.  The one that you linked here looks great.  Too bad it doesn't ship to Canada or I'd pick a bunch up.

EDIT:  Just placed an order through the cablewholesale site.  They didn't have the 24" but that's okay for me.
