Hey!
Do I need to replace the HD SATA cable for non-retina MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) ?
Is this a good question?

Here’s what I do to protect that cable from damage when replacing it. The blue is plain electrical tape and the thick red is 3m extreme mounting tape. the yellow is Kapton tape.

I saw your post on a question about upgrading to a SSD. In your case, if you have a early/late 2011 MBP and are upgrading from a HDD to a SSD you should definitely consider buying a 2012 HDD cable. The 2012 HDD cable can support SSD speeds, unlike the slower 2011 cables.

How about explaining whats going on here: Are you encountering a problem with your system? Or, are you able to install a new drive?
The more details the better.

@xukapy Do it! But format it internally with as high a system as you want to go to avoid APFS issues down the road.
