Does this cable work with hard drives that are larger than 2TB (e.g. 3TB hard drives in case with eSATA)?

That has nothing to do with cables...thats an operating system/BIOS limitation. Should be just fine with Vista or better.
278474
if the 3TB hard drives have eSata connection I think it shouldn't a problems to use it.

I've only used it to transfer SSD card of largest size 512 gb. So I cannot answer your question.

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

yes; but USB connection is slower than regular hard drive. However, if you use eSATA connection, it's speed is just like your internal drive.

It does not work with my 3TB Seagate. This same drive I used on my nbox and it worked fine.

Simple answer: NO. Usb 2 and 3 although backward compatible (not forward) are differently made (wired) with USB having substantially different wiring configurations as to preclude a USB 2 connection to be upgradable to USB 3. But, you may find that using an "eSATA connector will be even better (if such a connector exists on the external drive housing) that exceeds what a USB 3.0 connector could do anyway. Having said all that, if you are only using the external drive for backup purposes a USB 2.0 connection would work just fine anyway. Good luck!

NO! It does NOT work with anything larger than 2TB. I purchased it specifically for use with 3TB and 4TB drives - and it does NOT work. I contacted customer service, and they affirmed that it only works with drives up to 2TB. I have to return it now. Very disappointed.

I don't believe so, this is a Micro SATA cable and will only work if you have a 1.8 inch drive (if you have the smaller drive this will work) If you look at the connection on the hard drive it will probably say if it is micro sata or not. However if you have the 2.5 inch drive which seems to be more common look for an enclosure like this which should have the right connector: Sabrent Ultra Slim USB 2.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA External Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure [Black] (EC-UK25)In addition make sure if you are buying a USB 3.0 adapter that you actually have USB 3.0 ports on your computer.

Yes. Just about any 2.5" HDD Sata should work. SATA is backward compatible. Try to use the eSata connection when doing any kind of data transfer. It is by far the most efficient transfer method for this container. The real value of USB 3 is for USB sticks. For HDD it really lags behind sata 2 or sata 3. This container was truly built for the 1 TB SSD's. For SSD's this thing is the fastest thing on the market, of course using the eStata connection.

I bought it for a Seagate 2tb and it works fine, I assume the tb size would not make a difference and that it will work with yours

Cables actually do make a difference, as cables also mean protocols. The question of what the internal chipset supports in terms of transfer speeds is not the only relevant issue. Host bus speed matters. Run over an eSATA connection, the device will have less throughput available than USB 3.0 allows for, because eSATA isn't designed for 6Gbps. USB 3.0 will be the fastest connection (while still slower in this implementation than SATA3), followed by eSATA at roughly SATA2 speeds, followed by legacy USB 2.0 over the USB 3.0 cable.

Hi JerryYes It will work if your cable connectors are compatible.If you have an SATA system, which I think you do, them make sure the Hard Drive is also SATA. Small connector no pins.Your other choice is PATA / IDE, so make sure the hard drive has the same connector configuration. The PATA has the long connector with a bunch of pins. 42 I think.You can buy both in the same hard drive.I hope this helped.Walk In PeaceDavid

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

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 know the USB3-to-USB3 cable is included; uncertain (too much time has passed) but I think eSATA is also included (never have used eSATA connection,but I seem to recall having two unused eSATA cables at home -- on the road for the next week!)

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.

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, this will not work. This cable is for multiport RAID cards. It will not split a regular SATA connector.
