Well, maybe, but the box of them that I had had no twist, hence would not
access drive1. Perhaps it wouldn't do drive 2 either. I certainly never
tried them because my need for these cable was for the connectors. I was
glad there were no twists because it meant I could use the cables less the
DC37 connector. They were useful as hard disk cables.

Jason,
The external cable had two connectors and a twist in it just like the
internal one.
