SKU CH-RA30-ND1SG

Adds external eSATA ports to a desktop via motherboard SATA headers with a full-profile metal bracket for SATA III 6Gbps speeds

  • Dual external eSATA ports expand desktop storage connectivity for eSATA HDD and SSD
  • SATA III 6Gbps maximum bandwidth enables fast large file read and write performance
  • Heavy duty full profile metal PCI cover fits standard desktop chassis rear expansion slots
  • Direct connect internal SATA headers offer stable signal transmission with low signal loss
  • Driver free plug and play installation for quick storage expansion and hardware upgrade

DualPort eSATA Bracket Adapter

This SMUGDESK adapter adds external eSATA connectivity to a desktop PC by using spare motherboard SATA headers. A full-profile metal PCI cover mounts securely into a standard rear expansion slot for stable installation. It supports SATA III 6Gbps transfer rates for high-speed data throughput with external eSATA hard drives or solid-state drives. No drivers or software are required for operation.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This bracket suits builders adding eSATA ports to a system with available internal SATA headers and a free full-height expansion slot. It is ideal for external storage workflows like disk cloning or large file transfers. Buyers whose drives require bus power must look elsewhere because this adapter transmits data signals only. Systems lacking a standard full-height rear bracket opening cannot use this part.

Critical specification — power delivery

The single specification that decides fit is the absence of power delivery on the eSATA ports. Connected eSATA storage devices must use their own independent power source. If your external drives rely on port power, this adapter will not work for your setup.

Questions about this item

Will the dual eSATA ports generate extra heat or draw power from the motherboard during all‑day transfers?

The bracket carries only SATA data signals and draws no power from the motherboard; it adds no active components, so heat output is negligible even during continuous 6 Gbps operation.

What internal connectors must my motherboard have free for this bracket to work?

You need two available internal SATA headers on the motherboard to plug the supplied SATA data cables into.

Can I keep my older SATA II drives and still use both eSATA ports at full speed?

Yes — the adapter supports SATA III 6 Gbps and is backward compatible, so SATA II drives will operate at their native 3 Gbps rate on either port.
