Connect an eSATA storage device to a USB 3.0 port on your laptop or desktop. The USB3S2ESATA3 USB 3.0 to eSATA drive cable lets you connect any eSATA hard drive, solid state drive, or optical disc drive to your USB-enabled computer system - a great solution for computers that don't natively support eSATA, such as MacBook and Ultrabook computers.
To maximize performance and utilize the speed potential of your SATA 6 Gbps drives, the USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter is compatible with SATA revisions I/II/III and supports transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps through USB 3.0.
With support for Blu-ray/DVD/CD ATAPI / ODD drives and large capacity HDD / SSDs (tested up to 4TB) the USB to eSATA adapter cable is compatible with virtually any eSATA device, and can greatly increase the storage/backup capabilities of your computer.
The USB 3.0 to eSATA drive cable ensures a hassle-free connection with simple plug-and-play installation, plus the cable is the perfect length (1-meter, end-to-end) for easily accessing the rear panel USB ports on your computer.

This cable rocks! Works every time. I've used it to connect old esata drive enclosures to modern USB 3 equipped laptops as well as getting a fast esata connection out of RED's redmag 1.8 reader to my USB 3 port. Never have to break out my lacie thunderbolt esata hub anymore which means less cable clutter and one less device to power.Price isn't too bad either. Could be a little cheaper but a good investment to have one or two in a kit
