About this product
This unbranded external hard drive adapter is a USB 3.0 to eSATA converter, allowing connectivity between modern USB 3.0 ports and eSATA devices. It supports a data transfer rate of 5 Gigabits per second and is bus-powered, making it portable. The adapter cable is 3 feet long, features a black plastic outer material, and includes a quick-start guide.
Our take
This USB 3.0 to eSATA converter is a niche but potentially very useful product for anyone with older eSATA hard drives and newer computers lacking an eSATA port. The 5 Gigabits per second transfer rate is respectable for USB 3.0. Being bus-powered is a big plus for portability, as it eliminates the need for an external power brick. However, the 'Unbranded' nature and the relatively high price for an adapter cable are points to consider. It's primarily for bridging older hardware with newer interfaces, not for cutting-edge performance.
