USB 3.0 to eSATA Adapter by StarTech.com - 3 ft 6 Gbps Hard Drive Converter Cable (USB3S2ESATA3)

This USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter cable allows you to connect external eSATA devices like hard drives, solid state drives, or optical disc drives to computers that only have USB 3.0 ports. It is especially useful for laptops and desktops that lack native eSATA support, such as MacBook and Ultrabook models. The adapter ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, including Blu-ray, DVD, and CD drives, as well as large capacity HDDs and SSDs up to 4TB.

The cable supports transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps through USB 3.0, making it ideal for fast data access and transfers. It is compatible with SATA revisions I, II, and III, ensuring it works with most modern eSATA drives. However, it is important to note that this cable only provides data connectivity and does not supply power to the eSATA device. Users must ensure their eSATA drive has its own power source.

The compact and portable design makes this adapter easy to carry in a laptop bag, perfect for professionals who need to connect external storage on the go. The 1-meter length is convenient for accessing rear panel USB ports on desktop computers without the need for extension cables. The plug-and-play feature allows for easy setup without requiring additional drivers or software installation.

This adapter is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and works with most USB-enabled computers, including Dell OptiPlex and MacBook models. It supports hot-swapping, allowing users to connect and disconnect devices without shutting down their system. The cable is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring consistent performance during data transfers.
