Please note:
The maximum cable length for standard SATA cable connections according to the SATA specification
is 1m! Therefore, the total length of the internal connection cable from the motherboard SATA port to
the SATA port on the eSATAp adapter plus the external connection to the HDD must not exceed one
metre!
FAQ
Does the Power Over eSATA & USB Adapter support Hot Swap functionality?
Yes, depending on your motherboard’s SATA port and your operating system. If your motherboard
and operating system does not support hot swap functionality, then the card will not support it. The
card is a passive adapter card only – it does not change data traffic and has no influence on the
protocols used!
Does the Power Over eSATA & USB Adapter support USB?
Yes, it supports the USB function from the motherboard. You also can plug in any USB A type
connector or a standard eSATA connector instead of an eSATAp connector.
Does the Power Over eSATA & USB Adapter support higher power than a USB port?
Yes, it supports more than 5V 500mA because it takes the power from your computer’s ATX power
supply.
How does the 12V enabled Power Over eSATA & USB Adapter support 12V?
The 12V enabled eSATAp connector has additional 12V contacts on the outer wings of the connector.
It is fully compliant with the standard eSATAp and eSATA connector and with the USB A type
connector. The 12V enabled version can be clearly recognised by the 12V contacts on the outer side.
