   I found some specs for harddisk interface cables, the IDE version is   
   designed for 5000 operations, the SATA version for 50. Divide by 10 since it   
   is salesmans claims and you get an intense wish of not removing and   
   replugging a harddisk cable unless you absolutely MUST.   
      
   My reason for the googling for this info was my having to discard a brand   
   new disk because of a clumsy hand move inside the box breaking the plug on   
   the disk. Fortunately the disk was empty.
