Fervit USB 3.0 to eSATA Adapter 1m DC5V Power Cable

SKU CH-KGJ6-MZWEQ

Connect external eSATA HDDs, SSDs or ODDs via USB 3.0 with 5Gbps transfer and DC 5V power for eSATAp drives

  • Connect external eSATA drives via USB 3.0 port
  • DC 5V power supplied for power eSATA devices
  • Supports HDD, SSD and optical disc drives
  • Up to 5Gbps transfer speed with USB 3.0
  • One metre cable length for flexible placement

USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter with power

This 1 metre Fervit adapter connects an external eSATA hard drive, SSD or optical drive to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop. It supplies DC 5 V power to a power eSATA port so the drive does not need a separate power supply. The cable supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for fast access to external storage.

Suitable for adding an eSATA drive to a USB-only

It works with any external eSATA HDD, SSD or ODD and is handy for users who want a single-cable connection without an extra power brick. The adapter cannot power a standard eSATA port that lacks the power pins, so drives with a plain eSATA connector will still need their own power. Buyers who need to connect an internal SATA drive directly or who require a different host interface should look at other solutions.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 transfer rate

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 interface delivering up to 5 Gbps. If the host port is only USB 2.0 the link will fall back to the lower speed, and the adapter will not reach the stated throughput. Match the host port to USB 3.0 to get the full performance this cable provides.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Fervit USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB 3.0 end into your computer, connect the eSATA end to the drive, and ensure the DC 5V power cable is attached to supply power to the eSATAp port; the step often missed is forgetting to connect the power cable, which leaves the drive unpowered.

What maintenance or replacement will the Fervit USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; inspect the USB 3.0 and eSATA connectors periodically for dust or bent pins, and replace the cable if the connectors become loose or the cable sheath shows wear.

What limit appears first on the Fervit USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter during sustained use?

The USB 3.0 interface caps transfer rates at 5 Gbps, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that bandwidth; the DC 5V power supply also limits the drive to 5 V operation.
