Red ODD Cable
Commonly used in consoles with trinity motherboards, this connected the DVD drive to the motherboard.
Dark Blue ODD Cable
Commonly used in consoles with corona and newer S and E systems, this connected the DVD drive to the motherboard.
Prototypes
The following SATA cables were used on different Xbox 360 console variations.
Xbox 360 S Light Blue ODD Cable
Used on early trinity prototypes, this SATA cable differed in in terms of the color and in the cable ends. The straight-through side plugged into the motherboard and the 90 degree inverted side plugged into the DVD drive. Interestingly enough, the port on final trinity motherboards is referred to as "ODD_Blue" even though the final cable is red.
