They now make some SATA cables with a type of 'posi-lock' system that makes 
then snap into place using a clip, similar to how ethernet & phone cables 
work.  I can't tell you how compatible those clips are with every SATA 
device, but I've never come across one that didn't allow for a positive 
connection.  If it's any help, I got the ones I use from Newegg.
