Does anyone know of a 3.5" enclosure that has usb 3.0 and esata (3.0) " 6Gbps?" This enclosure only does esata 2.0.

Mediasonic makes the product you need. It is called Smart-drive Model No: HD6-SU3S2. Go to their website www.mediasonic.ca for more details. If you decide to purchase it you will need to download the drivers. I have windows 8.1 and had problems with my computer not recognizing the external drive or if it did it would drop it after a short period. After I installed the drivers the problems went away. Hope this helps.

There is a connection that gives eSata and usb together, kanex sold on Amazon for 79.95. Same price from apple, but I don't know of single cable to usb.

No, the drive is not shipped with an eSATA cable. The cable needs to be purchased separetly and is available from Amazon.com. However, the drive does work extremely well using the eSATA interface and is MUCH faster than the USB 2.0 interface.

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.

Depends on how you connect it. I believe with eSATA you can configure the drive in Windows to not fall asleep. I don't know if USB 3.0 connections are configurable like this.

I have 3 of these Sabrent drive enclosures and I populated two with 500GBs and one with 1TB. All three worked as I expected. BTW, I only tested them on USB 2.0 connections. I'm still waiting for my "GMYLE® ExpressCard 34mm to USB 3.0 Adapter (Dual Port)" to see if the USB 3.0 connection is any better. I currently do not have a machine with a "native" USB 3.0 interface. I have not tested these units using an SSD.

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.

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.

I have not tried it as the ESATA had a different number of pins. My neighbor said to plug I. All three connectors. The ESATA port on the back of my gadget, the USB port in front of my gadget and the other USB into the external hard drive I was trying to set up.

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.

Mine has 2x eSATA on the back (below the USB connectors).The QNAP information page states this as well (http://www.qnap.com/useng/index.php?lang=en-us&sn;=862&c;=355&sc;=526&t;=690&n;=9906&g;=1).Hope this helps :-)

No eSATA cable... I thought an eSATA card came with it. Guess I'll have to find one.

To make sure what the topic is here, my comments are just about the Vantec enclosure and not about whatever drive + enclosure Vantec may sell. My drive, for what it's worth, though, and it doesn't matter, was a 225 GB HP drive pulled out of motherboard-fried HP laptop. I wanted to keep it because there was nothing wrong with it to hook as an external USB drive to either my desktop or a tablet.

Controllers will never recognize this devise for some reason on my desktop, and 3 laptops. eSATA is the ultimate solution faster 2x and much more reliable They promise to revive all usb 3.0 devises and controllers .It means that new 2015 PC's will have no issues on motherboards .USB 3.0 is very new to the manufacturers (they trying to sell older hardware first :) Forget about this gadget

The answer to your speed question is not cut and dried. Generally, you will find USB 3.0 to be the fastest.This page has a good explanation: http://www.itworld.com/hardware/98987/usb-30-vs-esata-is-faster-better

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