Is an eSATA cable included with the DX513?

Yes, the special design of eSATA cable. It can be hooked on between DS and DX513 and prevent connection lost...

Mine has only a USB 3.0 jack. I'm not familiar with "eSATA"; I assumed it referred to the internal SATA interface where the drive itself plugs into the case.

It includes an eSATA Cable, USB 3.0 Cable, and Power Adapter. Everything you need is included in the box.

There's nothing OS-specific about the enclosure, anything with eSATA "port multiplier" support should work fine.

You will need Qty 2 USB ports, an audio port, a 1394 com port,( if you need it), A four pin connector from your power supply. Also, you can plug the esata connector into a sata port if you do not have esata port. I hope this helps.

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.

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!)

Probably. Remember that the eSATA port is an extension of your motherboard SATA ports. If you don't connect the card's internal SATA connection to the motherboards SATA ports using a cable, then the eSATA external port on the card is not functional. I never could install the USB3.0 drivers (install keeps failing) so all my card does is provide a external eSATA (pass-through) port. Hope this helps.

The eSATA port and the upper port are shared, so in order to enable the eSATA port on the back you have to change a small jumper on the card itself.I don't recall whether you can have both the upper SATA port and the eSATA port enabled simultaneously, though.

My unit did not have a USB port and only an eSATA Port. I think the description may be wrong as this device is eSATA only.

Yes. The SATA ports are hot pluggable. The eSATA should be too but I haven't tested it.

Maybe? I am using a laptop that has powered eSata port, and I'm using an eSatap cable that I got from Amazon, separate from the enclosure. Sounds like you have a similar setup. otherwise you will probably have to power the device from USB, but be connected to eSata first and perhaps the connection will be established on eSata. This is how some other enclosures function.

StarTech just clarified it will work only for eSata port on external device and USB 3.0 on PC, not the other way round

What Cable is it your looking for USB or ESATA. I'm not sure were you live but you should be able to buy them at a computer store, BestBuy, Staples or a fry's Electronics if you have them in your area or you can go online and purchase them from the stores web site as well.

The product description lists a power cord is included. It is more important that this comes with a mini CD with the correct drivers. I have purchased three of these pci-express cards with USB 3.0 and with and without eSATA. The USB3.0 and eSATA ports I/O speed is limited by the pcie bus. USB3.0 should be faster than the pcie bus but you must remember that there are several controller and bridge chips between the storage device and the computer. The all can add overhead and bottle necks. In my testing I have found the max Read/Write speeds to be 70-120MBps for USB3.0 and eSATA. The eSATA is temperamental and I only use for backup. The max Read/Write speeds I get for USB2.0 are 30-40MBps. So this card is useful to use an open pci-express slot to add USB3.0/eSATA ports that are 2X-3X faster than your USB2.0. As far as power, I have not had to use the external power for accessing USB3.0 HDDs or SSDs. I have found huge variations in I/O speeds between different external enclosures with the same drives installed. I say go for it if you have an empty slot and only USB2.0 and also consider a dual USB3.0 unless you require eSATA. One answer referred to unstable behavior on a laptop. That is caused by the driver. The USB/eSATA card uses a different driver than the dual USB card. The included driver may not be the best for your PC, but there is probably a better driver somewhere..

There is a VGA and HDMI, the one in between those isnt a monitor port but an eSATA port.

There is an eSata port only. However, the unit ships with an adapter (eSata-to-USB) so that you can connect the RAID tower to a USB3 port on your computer.
