Does this drive come with USB and/or eSATA connection cables? Thanks. ML

It comes with a USB 3.0 Cable. As I recall it did not come with a SATA cable. I purchased a separate 6" eSATA cable.

If the item is retail or the resellers kit Yes. It also includes a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter, installation CD, a 4 pin molex to eSATA power adapter, and a sticker. If the Item is OEM it would only be the drive. If it were open box or used then it comes as is or as described.

The ports on the front of the case (2x USB 3.0, 1x eSATA, 2x USB 2.0, HDD Dock) function similar to a USB Hub. In that all of those ports connect to the motherboard via only one regular SATA cable. So to answer your question it connects to a regular SATA port not an eSATA port.

This drive is not intended for USB connection. It connects to a router via an Ethernet port. It has a USB port for connecting a USB memory.

The drive is a bare bones drive, so no cables included. Most people have a spare SATA connector in the computer especially if replacing an old drive. This is a great buy!

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

No. Not directly. This drive has USB 3.0 only. There are other models (pro family) that have USB and eSATA. If you want Network Attached you need to look at their NAS family. Specs for all of their products are located here: http://iosafe.com/products

sata to esata connection wire. if you don't have esata you'll need an adapter unit. such as sata to usb or sata to firewire. the unit is sealed so you'll have no worries externally. just don't dunk it in coffee

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.

It's been a while, but as I remember, it came only with a USB cable, the drive is fantastic, and when I plug the USB cable into my new PC with USB 3 ports, it does run much faster than when I had it in my old PC with USB 2 ports and eSATA. On my old PC, the eSATA was much faster, but on the new one, even though the drive is rated USB 2, it is quite fast. Like others here have said, on Amazon, you can buy an eSATA cable for very little.

It does come with a cable, since it is a unique connector on the drive. One end fits the drive and the other is a standard USB input, full size.

You would need an ESata port on your desktop and a free USB port. The USB port is for electricity because Esata does not supply enough electricity to power the drive and then the Esata cable/port would be for data.

The drive comes with a USB3 cable. No thunderbolt connection on the unit-only USB.

No, it is a bare bones drive. I ordered a SATA cable separately from amazon.

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.

No. You will need to purchase cables if it is a new install. You may use the existing cables if it is a replacement. Often, computers will have unused cables that may be used. You will need to confirm what you have to know what you will need to order with the drive.

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.
