On this SATA cable, for what is the lug on the one plug? I think the "lock" (that the physical connection is more stable) is managed by the silver metal. But the lug? I haven't any idea for what this should be in practice.

On the right angle connector, presumably to make it easier to hold and handle, though I've never seen one with that extension. Considering it's a low profile variant of SATA, it does seem a little odd.
1IMHO: If you pull on the plug body it would twist the connector in the socket, the extension gives you a straight pull to remove it & reduces chance of damage to the socket. – BrianA – 2012-03-03T12:30:59.737
Mine don't have the extention. Works fine. Thats the obvious purpose of it quite certainly. – Journeyman Geek – 2012-03-03T12:49:31.120
@BrianA don't you still need to push up on the metal clip on the connector anyways? – Breakthrough – 2012-03-03T23:43:50.717
