Is this Enclosure eSATA port working for WD Black 4TB (WD4003FZEX) 3.5" hard drive.

Unable to answer exact question. I installed a WD green 3.5" 2TB Sata drive and it works fine. I did have to install the Gigabit driver before the Mother Board would see its eSATA ports.

Yes, it works with 4TB, Seagate Desktop Solid State Hybrid Drive - 4 TB, 8 GB Flash, 3.5 in, SATA-600, Buffer 64 MB, Internal - ST4000DX001, so should work with WD drive.

Yes, it works with 3.5 inch 4TB drives so should work fine with a Western Digital drive.

It did not fit the 3.0 port on my Western Digital external hard drive. Not familiar with Seagate port. 2.0 port cable does fit into the esata port on my Dell Studio 17 laptop.I use a cable with 2.0 on one end for laptop esata and 3.0 on other end for WD external. It came included with the WD hard drive.

I have not had problems with my enclosure, but it will not work with your older ATA HDD. The enclosure is designed for a SATA connection.

Sorry not sure to answer that, but giving you an idea. I use it to connect my 4 bay eSATA to my laptop USB 2.0 (which doesn't have port multiplier). My laptop can access all four drives on the enclosure. Hope this helps. Toshiba laptop, San Digital Tower Raid TR4M.

No it is made to connect the USB 3.0 port of the laptop to the ESATA port of the external drive.

I have a brand new laptop with an esata port. This enclosure does recognize my external drive via the USB connection, but won't recognize by esata cable. I followed the instructions to use the USB cable for power, and even tried plugging in to a second USB port as suggested, in case one port wasn't supplying enough power.I'm trying to get through to their online support page, but so far no luck. So I'm up in the air for now.

Although the item in question does have both an eSata port as well as an internal Sata port, unfortunately you must sacrifice the internal Sata port in which you have available to you only to allow it as use for a pass-through to the external eSata port as, without this pass-through, the eSata port would not function.

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

Yes... It says this in the specs too. In fact the package includes both the USB _and_ eSata cables.

No, It wont work. USB to eSATA adapter is an uni-diretional, it wont do other way around. I highly recommend to use eSU3F8 that would cover ANY host interface

Yes it does. I'm using WD Black 4TB drives in mine, and it has worked flawlessly since I set it up three months ago.

In a word NO. The SATA connector on the adapter is just a standard eSATA connector and not an eSATAp connector and therefore has no power pins. Therefore the adaptor only works one way. It only works for connecting an eSATA device to the computers USB 3.0 port. It will not work for connecting a USB3 device to the eSATAp port on your computer

Yes. I am currently using the Uspeed dock with a Western Digital 4 TB WD Green SATA III 5400 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD40EZRX. I used the dock to connect to my Windows 7 machine via the eSATA port. When first hooked up the 4TB drive displayed itself in the Computer Management/Disk Management console where I partitioned it using the GUID Partition Table then formatted with NTFS. Properties shows capacity at 3.63 TB . Been using it for a week or so. Fast and no problems so far. Hope that helps.

To my knowledge that is handled by your bios and the hdd itself. So as long as your mobo and hdd are smart compatible the enclosure dosnt figure into it.

I have a router with an eSATA port that can used for a media drive. Can this HD be used in an eSATA stand alone enclosure with an 80mm fan for cooling? Thank you in advance for any information.

You could connect it to the SATA port on a mainboard with an adapter cable, but I don't know what kind of thru put you would get.SATA to eSATA Cable

We've connected this cable with an USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter and it works great. Of course you need to have the HD powered.
