How can I get a replacement sata cable? My tore when trying to replace with ssd.

This guide completely skips over the details on how to disconnect the cables. This is by far the trickiest part of this operation. The fact that the commenter above tore his SATA cable is proof that crucial steps of this procedure are missing!
