USB-C to eSATA Cable for External Drives

This 3 ft cable connects a single eSATA storage device to a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 computer. It supports SATA HDDs, SSDs and optical drives up to a tested 10 TB capacity. The ASMedia ASM1153E chipset provides USB 3.0 data rates with plug-and-play operation.

Suitable for technicians

It suits labs, desks or field work where data recovery, drive imaging, diagnostics or backup of eSATA drives is required. It is not for users whose external storage uses USB or any interface other than eSATA, nor for setups that require more than one drive on the same cable.

USB 3.0 host interface with ASMedia ASM1153E chipset

The cable presents a USB 3.0 male connector to the host and a 7-pin eSATA male connector to the drive. The ASM1153E bridge enables 4Kn sector support, ATAPI for optical drives and hot-swap capability for quick drive changes.
