Does this come with eSata cable?

I believe it did. At the time of purchase I didn't have an eSata port to use it on.

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!

You should be able to get that cable from almost any electronics store, also here through Amazon. It's an eSATA cable. However, I need to let you now that my experience with eSATA cable has not been happy one. I had at least two different brands of these external docking stations that used eSATA connections. They both had intermittent performance issues. It appeared that the eSATA connector on the cable is very fragile. I do not and will not use that interface for external components anymore.

On the end with the USB connection AND the ESATA connection, you need to connect the ESATA end to an ESATA port AND the USB end to a USB port. The USB port is just to provide power to the drive--it doesn't carry any data. Your laptop needs to have an ESATA port on it. Hope that answers your question

Comes with USB 3.0 and eSATA cables. These are standard cables. You can find them on Amazon if you need them.

Yes, but the eSATA cable didn't work with a DELL XPS Desltop. I had to buy another one. After that, no problem.

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.

The is the exact setup that I have. My desktop is connected via an esata port and my laptop via usb 3.0. Both are plugged into the box. All you have to do is use the interface button on the upper right of the ProBox to select which interface you want. Really simple as far as that goes. However, what is critical for the esata connection is that your sata chip supports the correct protocol. Most esata interfaces work with port multiplier capability. However, this box needs to also have support for FIS based switching protocol. If your computer doesn't support FIS switching, you can get one for about $20 to ad in to your system. There is a mediasonic I/O card that supports it and there is also the Silicon Image PCI Express Card ,SIL3132 Sata II controller with two sata ports on it. I have tried both and found that for me the Silicon Image card is easiest to install and update.

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

The eSata port is only for power. The supplied USB 3 Cord is also backward compatible with USB 2 and USB 1. This peripheral was found to be a very good investment.

Nope!! Have to purchase one, I believe it came with a USB, but not eSATA. That would have been nice

I use my esata drive connected to my dvr from cox communications. Not all esata drives work with a scientific atlanta cable box. I suggest checking for compatibility. Once installed, works perfectly and invisibly until it crashes, which all hard drives will eventually experience, so back it up.

Sorry, I don't remember. It was a bad experience across the board. Save yourself some aggravation, buy the Vantec NexStar HX 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0/eSATA HDD Enclosure with Fan NST-330SU3-BK (copy & paste in Amazon's search). Handles Sata II with throughput via USB 3.0 and eSata. Sure it's an extra $13-14, but shipping is free, not with the Sabrent (assuming a single purchase).

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

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