Does this enclosure support eSATAp?

I am uncertain weather it supports eSATAp specifically. I do know that there is an eSATA port on the case next to the mini USB port. My guess is that it does support it since eSATAp is a hot swappable device.

You have to run a data from the motherboard internally, converting it to an external esata port

The card reader functionality requires the USB connection. The sata connection is just for the esata port.

Yes, it comes with a power cord, which connects to an usb port. It has eSATA and USB 3.0, but I was not able to test eSATA, as I was not able to get my estat to work on my older enclosure, so I did not test it. USB 3.0 works.

Nope this is for smaller 1.8inch drives and you can tell that the eSATA connections won't line up. Try looking for a USB to 2.5 inch mSATA cable.

I have this enclosure. IDE will not work with it. There are adapters on the market but they will not fit in this case. SATA drives slide in and when the door closes it presses them in tightly to make a secure connection. No room for adapters at all.

I use my esata drive connected to my dvr from cox communications. Not all esata drives work with a scientific atlanta cable box. I suggest checking for compatibility. Once installed, works perfectly and invisibly until it crashes, which all hard drives will eventually experience, so back it up.

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. Two ESATA cables required.This device contains two Sil3726/3826 SATA Port Multipliers each for 4 HDD.

Yes. However, you will need to feed external power to your HDD. The eSATA cable does not provide power like USB.

It needs an esata interface. Lots of them (especially the ones built into motherboards) are buggy or don't perform well. So I have an addon card.

eSATA cable does not come with the drive. You can buy one separately for about $20. Figure that into your cost.

There are TWO esata inputs - each input utilizes 4 drives each. So you'd need two cables to run all of them.

No it wont. USB host will provide power to bridge to convert USB signal to eSATA signal. It is a USB device to eSATA host, not the other way around. Meaning it allows to use a eSATA device in USB port of your computer

No they do not, I have tested it with mine. I am using a Sil3124 based PCI card with two esata ports to hook up my external drive enclosures.

My motherboard does not support eSATAp and the connector on the Satechi is NOT eSATAp. I use the USB port to supply power.

The is the exact setup that I have. My desktop is connected via an esata port and my laptop via usb 3.0. Both are plugged into the box. All you have to do is use the interface button on the upper right of the ProBox to select which interface you want. Really simple as far as that goes. However, what is critical for the esata connection is that your sata chip supports the correct protocol. Most esata interfaces work with port multiplier capability. However, this box needs to also have support for FIS based switching protocol. If your computer doesn't support FIS switching, you can get one for about $20 to ad in to your system. There is a mediasonic I/O card that supports it and there is also the Silicon Image PCI Express Card ,SIL3132 Sata II controller with two sata ports on it. I have tried both and found that for me the Silicon Image card is easiest to install and update.
