StarTech ESATA6 SATA to eSATA Plate

Overview

The StarTech ESATA6 provides a robust solution for connecting external SATA storage devices to systems with an available eSATA port. This 6-foot cable allows you to mount an eSATA port in an unused expansion slot bracket, offering a clean and accessible connection point for high-speed external drives. It's ideal for surveillance systems requiring direct connection to Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Direct Attached Storage (DAS) units that utilize eSATA for data transfer, ensuring you can achieve the necessary throughput for continuous recording or rapid data retrieval. The ESATA6 model supports data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps, aligning with SATA III specifications.

Compatibility

This eSATA bracket cable is designed to connect to any standard 7-pin SATA data port on a motherboard or RAID controller. The external eSATA connector is compatible with all eSATA hard drive enclosures, SSDs, and other storage devices. It functions as a passive adapter, requiring no drivers for operation and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. For surveillance applications, it enables direct connection to eSATA-equipped NVRs or DVRs from various manufacturers, provided they have a standard SATA data connector internally that can be routed to this bracket.

Installation Notes

Installation involves routing the internal SATA connector to the motherboard's SATA port and securing the external eSATA bracket to an available expansion slot on the computer chassis. The operating temperature range is 20°C to 80°C (68°F to 176°F), and storage temperature is 23°C to 25°C (73°F to 77°F). Humidity should be maintained between 40% and 60%.
