YO Manufacturer : STARTECH.COM UPC : 065030822404 Review: Easy way to utilize unused SATA ports as eSATA - I'm using this with an ASUS TUF GAMING Z590 PLUS Wi-Fi motherboard, and so far, it has worked exactly as expected. Having two eSATA ports is nice, especially if you need to use a SATA based optical drive on a PC which does not have any 5.25 inch bays. There are several other reasons one may want to use eSATA. USB to SATA adapters do NOT support S.M.A.R.T or TRIM, both of which will work via eSATA. Another instance where using eSATA might be useful, is if your PC only has a single USB controller (which is common for most Intel motherboards). USB power can be a bit finicky, and the more USB devices you attach to a single controller, the higher the likelyhood of running in to some random USB power issue that can take your entire controller offline. TL;DR If you find yourself needing to connect multiple SATA devices to your PC externally, this is an excellent approach if you are looking to have options that don't involve USB to SATA adapters. Review: Too short - I had an old external drive dock that I wanted to use. The cable works fine but I took one star off because the cables should be at leased 2 inches longer. ## Features - SATA internal to external panel - Serial ATA 150/300/600 - SATA (F) to eSATA (M) - 1 ft - red ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NPKGH4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #154 in SATA Cables | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Color | Red | | Compatible Devices | Computer | | Connector Type | Sata (F) to Esata (M) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (260) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030822404 | | Item Dimensions | 4.88 x 0.79 x 8.46 inches | | Item Weight | 0.05 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Startech.com | | Model Number | ESATAPLATE2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030822404 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | ## Product Details - **Color:** Red - **Compatible Devices:** Computer - **Connector Type:** Sata (F) to Esata (M) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4.88 x 0.79 x 8.46 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech 2 Port SATA to eSATA Slot Plate Bracket (ESATAPLATE2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TQ8WBkJmL.jpg) ![StarTech 2 Port SATA to eSATA Slot Plate Bracket (ESATAPLATE2) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gGgJ3MApL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy way to utilize unused SATA ports as eSATA *by A***Y on April 12, 2025* I'm using this with an ASUS TUF GAMING Z590 PLUS Wi-Fi motherboard, and so far, it has worked exactly as expected.

The cable works fine but I took one star off because the cables should be at leased 2 inches longer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value adapter for legacy ESATA *by E***Y on May 29, 2025* Using in a home TrueNAS build with old LaCie ESATA HDD enclosures for offline/offsite backups of SSD and SAS storage. Works great to extend SATA for my needs, replicating nightly/ad-hoc for backups and offline storage. Yes, ESATA is old technology, but it is stable. And works. Particularly in my scenario for offline backups with legacy HDDs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1840907-startech-2-port-sata-to-esata-slot-plate-bracket-esataplate2](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1840907-startech-2-port-sata-to-esata-slot-plate-bracket-esataplate2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
