I have a 500GB Gigabit Buffalo Drive Station acting as Network Attached Storage. This drive came with a very long (20' or so) ribbon style cable for ethernet.
Couldn't I use a Cat6 ethernet cable for this drive? I ask because I remember reading somewhere in the instructions (which I can't find) not to use ethernet cables with it because it could damage the drive. I'm going by memory here... but is that really correct? How would a Cat6 cable hurt the drive? Do I have to used the supplied ribbon cable?
