      Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2010
      Size: 6 FeetVerified Purchase
      When I first got this cable, I thought I died and went to haven. The way the cable was coiled up and nicely held in place with a ribbon tie, then pricisely packed inside a very nice clear plastic bag, just blew me off my feet. All my friends, just had to come over and see this amazing item. We all stood around this protective clear plastic container, and just dropped our jaws, amazed by the technology used to accomplish this feat. Take in mind, we hadn't even removed the cable from the bag yet. So you can imagine our reaction, when we uncoiled this cable to show its true length. A whopping, unbelievable 6 feet of vinyl encased copper aligned cable inside a plastic tubing that ended with an unusual type of connector at both ends. We just couldn't contain our joy. We jumped and sang, we end prayed and gave thanks to our god almighty for such a gift of technology. Unfortunately, sadly we had to come down, back to earth, as one of our own, snapped and asked "how and where do use such technology?". We all stopped dead in our tracks. I responded by saying "I think its supposed to be used on whats inside that other box". We all looked at each other, we smiled....then (more later on our next item review)

      5.0 out of 5 stars Quality eSATA cable for a reasonable price.
      Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2010
      Size: 6 FeetVerified Purchase
      I've used this cable for a few days and it has performed well with my external hard drive. Transfer speeds are greater than twice as fast as they are with the USB 2 connection to the drive. Since I've had it for only a few days I cannot comment on its durability, but it seems to be very well made. The connectors on the cable fit the connections on the computer and disk drive quite snugly (loose connections seem to be complaint associated with some eSATA cables). In fact the connections are so snug that one must use some force to get the connector on the cable fully inserted into the connections on the hardware. (At first I thought one of the cables I received was defective because it was not completely inserted into the computer connection.) I would say that these cables are a good value.

      Edit, 1/31/15: I don't use the external hard drive that this cable is attached to very frequently -- say, once or twice a week. That said, this cable is still doing its job.

      I have a seemingly unlimited number of computer cables, but missing from my collection was the one I needed, an external eSATA for an archival drive. For such a purpose dependability is important so I didn’t want to buy just any old cable. That’s why I chose a StarTech, they always seem to be a cut above the no name brands. I was actually surprised at how well this one was made. The connectors fit snugly in the corresponding ports and make perfect contact and data transfer is exactly what I expected. If the choice is between this one and a brand I never heard of this is the one I recommend.

      Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2011
      Size: 3 FeetVerified Purchase
      I am using the E-SATA cable with an E-SATA / USB-II external drive box that contains a 2Tb SATA hard drive. I was able to boot-up Windows 7/32 in the E-SATA box as if the 2Tb SATA hard drive was connected as C:\ internally. I have not tried Windows 7/64 at the E-SATA connection, but I can't imagine it would work any differently. Windows 7/64 is now loaded on the internal SATA drive.
      The difference between 32 bit Windows and 64 bit Windows is quite noticeable, with 64 bit version seeming to be about 16x faster.
      That statement should not be misconstrued to imply that the SATA internal drive is faster than the E-SATA drive. They are identical drives mechanically and model-number wise, and speed is consistent whether mounted internally or externally. This can be verified with the Windows 7 performance monitor app.
      Delivery was on-time. As always, I recommend tracking for all Amazon shipping.

      Das Kabel habe ich gekauft, um zu testen, ob die Übertragung vom externen Festplattenstapel zum Rechner mit eSATA schneller ist als mit USB C. Es war mit 145 MB/s tatsächlich etwas schneller, aber nachdem ich ein USB 3.2 Kabel angeschlossen habe, bekam ich Übertragungsraten und deutlich über 200 MB/s.
      Also das Kabel ist in Ordnung, aber USB 3.2 ist schneller.
