Are used cables a good buy or should i get a new one?

Given that we've stated that the SATA cable is a known failure point, wouldn't getting a used one be a contradiction?

SATA cable arrived and seems to have fixed the problem, but I need to build confidence over time to be sure!

I fixed permissions and got this note. WARNING: SUID file "System/Library/CoreS haas been modified and will not be repaired.

What does this mean?

Thanks

It means you did not get the memo that tells you, "Ignore any permissions messages unless they appear in RED".

Permissions repair is only useful in one obscure case. Otherwise, it should not even be there (and in 10.11 ElCapitan, sure enough, they removed it).

The important stuff is in ( Repair Directory).
