Recently I've bought a SATA data cable that looks like that:
Judging from Wikipedia article these two cables are probably the two pairs of the two data lines.
From the manufacturer's website I found that the cable is characterized with tin-coating copper wire core and dual aluminum foil shield for minimal signal interference.
The traditional cable shown below, is characterized again with tin-coated copper wire core and aluminum shield:
Since both topologies require the two data lanes to be isolated from each other and they are, which one provides for lower interference and higher signal-to-noise ratio, the first one where they are insulated and isolated (separated) or the second one where they are insulated again but packaged into a single insulation sleeve in close proximity?

I think that if a cable is rated to handle a specific speed it makes absolutely no difference at all. If your goal is to find the “faster” cable they will both likely perform exactly the same. Unfortunately this question is not well suited for superuser. Please read [ask]. – Appleoddity – 2018-12-29T18:41:08.057
probably hardware.stackexchange.com would be a better place to ask. If possible move the question there, if not possible, then join that community, ask the question there and put pingbacks on both so people can find the question on both sites. – shirish – 2019-01-02T20:44:34.987
