2.5" SATA to Power eSATA adapter

This short cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive to a laptop or host that provides a Power eSATA port combining eSATA data and USB power. It carries both the 22-pin SATA signal and the 5 V supply through a single 0.5 ft assembly. The adapter is intended for users who need to access a bare 2.5 inch drive on a system equipped with the combined Power eSATA interface.

Requires Power eSATA port and 5 V drive

The host must present a Power eSATA connector that merges eSATA data with USB 5 V power; a standard eSATA port without the USB pin will not supply the necessary voltage. Because the cable delivers only 5 V, it supports 2.5 inch drives rated for 5 V operation and cannot power 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch units that require a 12 V rail. No additional power brick or enclosure is needed when the host port and drive voltage match.

Sustained transfers limited by 5 V budget

Under continuous read or write workloads the drive draws power exclusively from the host's USB 5 V line, so performance remains stable only while the port can maintain its current rating. If the host port current limit is reached, the drive may throttle or disconnect during prolonged heavy I/O. The short 0.5 ft length minimises voltage drop, helping sustain the link during extended copy sessions.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.5 ft cable reach my drive without strain?

The cable measures 0.5 ft so it is intended for very short runs such as a drive sitting next to a laptop; longer distances will need an extension.

Does the adapter draw extra power or generate heat during all-day transfers?

It is a passive cable with no active electronics so it adds no measurable heat or power draw beyond the 5 V supplied by the host port.

Must my laptop have a combined eSATA USB port for this to work?

Yes, the host must provide a Power eSATA connector that merges eSATA data and USB 5 V power in one socket; a plain eSATA port will not supply power.
