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.

Yes but you would need a esata dock or enclosure about $30 versus just adding it internal

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.

I believe so. I bought this expressly to hook up to an eSATA internal hard drive that had been inside of an external enclosure that was no longer working. I had external power to the drive and connected the eSATA cable to this adapter to transfer files to my PC hard drive. Worked great!

I am using it to connected an external esata port on an external enclosure Hard Drive to USB 3 on the laptop. your going the other way around. not sure.

Yes you can. The eSATA end connects to an eSATA port, the other end is a regular SATA plug. This is usually used to connect to an external hard drive for backup or file transfer. It doesn't matter if the drive you connect it to is in the computer or outside the computer. As long as the drive has power you are good to go.

Yes an internal SATs cable from an internal sata port. So the external is a pass through. Effectively giving you an esata port in exchange for an internal one.

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

The cable has a standard USB connector on one end and eSata on the other. It is a 2-way path and I am using it for an external hard drive backup. It should work in your configuration.

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 :-)

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

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.

You'll need a hard disk drive dock that can handle both IDE & eSATA HDs. This Orico won't do it. I own one of these, too. You'll need the EZO Ware 2 slot HDD dock, model 875 U3, or any model CAVALRY dual bay hard drive dock. Both of these models have two slots or "bays" for two different types of HDs....the old IDEs & the back slot for the newer eSATA HDs. This second slot will handle both 3.5" HDDs & 2.5" HDDs & SSDs (solid state drives). Very versatile. Now, if you can not find these 2 recommended models (that I also own & purchased here), you can just search hard drive dock stations that handle both eSATA & IDE HDDs. Be careful, because some newer models have 2 bays for eSATA & no slot for IDE. This because, as you have discovered, the IDEs are now obsolete. Just read the description carefully when ordering. In appearance, they will hold the drives vertically & not horizontally like the ORICO illustrated here. In other words they are drop-in's & not slide-in's. Hope that this helps you. I build a new computer every year & understand the problem of moving older stored data on "dated" hardware to newer hardware. Compatibility can be a problem. There is one other choice that AMAZON has carried: an adapter cable that has a USB male plug on one end & a 2-sided plastic adapter plug on the other end. One side of this plug on the end of the cable plugs into an IDE drive. The other side of the plug will plug into an eSATA drive, either 2.5" or 3.5." It would be slightly less expensive but is USB 2.0 standard & slower transfers. The docks listed above are USB 3.0 (& believe me, this is important & will save you hours of time during transfers) & will transfer your data to the newer eSATA HDs MUCH faster. The difference in cost is well worth buying the desktop models. Hope that all of this helps. Tried to give you several different choices & explain why. Good Luck.

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, it does require two ESATA ports. However, it comes with a PCIe RAID card which is installed in the server, so you're lack of ESATA ports isn't an issue.

Its not a esata connection so you can't use laptop drive either.. Look up msata.. Thats what you need

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.
