Questions about this item

What connectors and cable length come with the STARTECH USB3C2ESAT3?

The cable has a USB Type-C male connector with 24 pins on the host side and an eSATA 7-pin male connector on the drive side. It is 3 ft (1 m) long.

Which drive types and maximum capacity does this cable support?

It works with SATA HDDs, SSDs and optical drives, and has been tested with drives up to 10 TB. 4Kn sector drives and ATAPI devices are also supported.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean for real-world eSATA drive performance?

The ASMedia ASM1153E chipset bridges USB 3.0 to SATA III, so the cable can deliver up to 5 Gbps bandwidth to a connected eSATA drive, limited by the drive’s own speed.
