Description

StarTech ESATAPLATE2 eSATA to SATA Adapter Plate

Overview

The StarTech ESATAPLATE2 provides a direct connection between an external eSATA storage device and an internal SATA port. This adapter plate is designed for scenarios where you need to integrate an eSATA drive, such as an external hard drive enclosure or optical drive, into a system that primarily uses SATA connections. The ESATAPLATE2 facilitates this by converting the eSATA data connection to a standard SATA data connection, enabling seamless data transfer up to 6Gbps. It's particularly useful for expanding storage capacity in surveillance NVRs or workstations without requiring a full chassis replacement.

Compatibility

This adapter plate is compatible with any standard SATA data port and any eSATA data port. It supports the Serial ATA III specifications, ensuring data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps. It is designed to work with eSATA enclosures and devices that utilize the 7-pin SATA data connector. It is not compatible with eSATA power connectors.

Installation Notes

The adapter plate operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Storage temperatures can range from -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). It can function in humidity levels from 0 to 95% at 25°C. The physical dimensions are 4.7 inches (119 mm) in length and 6.7 inches (170 mm) in width, with a height of 0.8 inches (20 mm). The product weighs 1.9 oz (54 g).
