Sabrent SATA-ES2P Internal SATA to 2-Port eSATA II 3GB External Host Bracket Cable (6.3 inches) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazon doesn't accept a zero star rating, but that's all this product gets. The idea behind this product is good, but it's made so el-cheapo it's almost unusable.

I found the cables long enough, although barely. They are 9 inches long. (That's 22.5 cm, more than the 16m on the product descriptor.)

The real problem with this product is the external connector. It's barely usable. The connector has two small latches that are meant to lock the cable into place. They seem to be made out of foil. If utmost care is not used when inserting the external cable these latches bend inside the connector, making the connector unusable. Even if utmost care is used, these latches can bend in the same way. This WILL happen if you test the connector a few times before you put it in your computer. Once this happens, the connector is toast.

The inside connector (the one that connects to your SATA port) is fine. It's not the one that gets reused, though.

Product Description:
The Sabrent SATA-ES2P Internal SATA to 2-Port eSATA II 3GB External Host Bracket Cable lets you extend two internal SATA ports to two external eSATA interfaces.Initially SATA was designed as an internal or inside-the-box interface technology, bringing improved performance and new features to internal PC or consumer storage. Creative designers quickly realized the innovative interface could reliably be expanded outside the PC, bringing the same performance and features to external storage needs instead of relying on USB or 1394 interfaces. Called external SATA or eSATA, customers can now utilize shielded cable lengths up to 2 meters outside the PC to take advantage of the benefits the SATA interface brings to storage. SATA is now out of the box as an external standard, with specifically defined cables, connectors, and signal requirements released as new standards. eSATA provides more performance than existing solutions and is hot pluggable.
