eSATA (external SATA)
I see lots of confusion about eSATA in the NGs.
The most prominant features of eSATA are the longer cable length (up to 2 meters), the cable's shielding, and the plug to accomodate the shielding. eSATA can be used with external adapters for both desktop PCs and laptops, and external enclosures are available that have their own power modules and cooling fans. Here are some links to representative info: Silicon Image white paper on eSATA: https://www.sata-io.org/docs/Externa...WP%2011-09.pdf SIIG product offerrings in eSATA: http://siig.com/productlist.asp?catid=80 SIIG PCIe/eSATA card: http://siig.com/product.asp?catid=7&pid=1018 eSATA back panel adapter brackets: http://www.firewire-1394.com/externa...-solutions.htm eSATA cables: http://www.firewire-1394.com/sata-cables-shielded.htm eSATA external enclosures by Kingwin: http://kingwin.com/jt35ebk.asp http://kingwin.com/jt35eubk.asp Use the model nos. and the usual search engines for current prices, i.e. NexTag.com, PriceWatch.com, Froogle.Google.com, etc. *TimDaniels* |
