## Questions & Answers

**Q: What about power?**
A: eSATA does not provide any power.  You'd typically use an eSATA port with an external drive enclosure that has its own power supply.

**Q: What cable goes between this esata adapter plate and the external sata drive? the external drive has a flat port, not "l" shaped.**
A: You need an eSATA cable. Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-108791-6-Feet-External-Shielded/dp/B009GUL1VM/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_t_3/133-8936100-0506459?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HMC3NS4Q8W7KVFB3SWS3

**Q: can I use this to connect a port multiplier such as a 4 drive enclosure?**
A: You can connect the 4 drive enclosure by eSATA wityh this, but your motherboard's SATA controller needs to be able to support port multiplying with eSATA. If it does, then your computer should recognize all drives.

**Q: Do you have one that supports internal sata power and data ports (i have an external drive enclosure with separate sata and power connections)?**
A: You are looking for eSATAp variants and connections. Where "e" means External, "SATA" means Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, "p" means Power over connection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very useful addition during a computer failure

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal eSata Upgrade
*by B***E on 9 February 2010*

This low profile (half-height) adapter is ideal for adding an eSATA port to your PC. Be aware that you do have to have a free internal SATA socket for the cable to plug into (sounds obvious but you'd be amazed!). Fitting the bracket was very easy but StarTech have been a bit miserly by only supplying about a foot of internal SATA cable so you may not have an option to route the wiring properly depending on where your SATA sockets are on your motherboard. Also the mounting screws that secure the SATA port to the mounting plate (bracket) were very loose and I had to tighten then with a screwdriver. Not a big hassle but I shouldn't have had to do this. Anyway a star is docked for the loose socket and the slightly mean length of cable, but otherwise it does the job exactly as advertised.
