Does this enclosure have both USB 3.0 and e-sata connections?

Yes it has both connections. I use my enclosure via e-SATA to add to the storage on my DirecTV receiver.

Dear Jen Unfortunately, I didn't use SATA Yet Because I don't have a Device with this plug. I only use USB 3.0, and my Operating System is Windows 8.1.

this one claims to have both but I have not purchased it: MiniPro&trade; 2.5-in SATA to USB 3.0 & eSATA 6Gbps External Hard Drive / SSD Enclosure (up to 15mm, UASP)

There are Sata to IDE adapters, but you will not be able to use it in this enclosure as it only fits SATA drives.

It has USB 2.0, not Sata. It is up to you to provide any USB external enclosure which holds the size of your choice. I have not tried it yet with an unpowered enclosure to see if the USB Host has enough power. Using short cables always helps.

Download the motherboard manual (E7758v3.0.zip), look at page 1-2 "Package Contents". It shows 1 SATA Cable, 1 eSATA Power Cable, 1 SATA Power Cable, 1 USB 2.0 Bracket w/cable, eSATA Bracket w/cable

Hi James,Yes, the interface is SATA III. I am using a SATA III 1TB HDD in mine. This enclosure is solid, built well, keeps drives cool and swapping drives in and out is easy! If your looking for super compact, it is not. It is still small since it takes 2.5 inch HDD's but definitely not the smallest. I love it because I plan on putting the 2.5 inch 1TB Velociraptor inside of it and I know it won't over heat and it will fit the 15MM thickness.

Mine has only a USB 3.0 jack. I'm not familiar with "eSATA"; I assumed it referred to the internal SATA interface where the drive itself plugs into the case.

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

Yes both front ports are usb3. You need a mobo that supports front ports obviously

This is an enclosure only. You must checkConnections for your hard drive SATA, ATA, IDE?Does you Mac Support USB 2.0?Once you determine these things then it should work

The connector/size is the same. Not sure whether the controller chipset in the enclosure has backward support for SATA 1 though.

It comes with two SATA 3 "locking" cables. One end is 180, the other is 90. Since my application used a very small & tight enclosure I ordered replacement "non-locking" cables.

SATA3. It also has 2 usb plugs that go into your computer. One for the I/O and the other for power. I've noticed that the only time that the power one is really needed is if you're burning disks or if you're not using usb 3.0 for the I/O plug.

mine had two parts....the usb connection to the short part of the drive connections and a Model sy-002-5-12 power ac-dc adapter with the sata power to drive part of the connection. each is connected to the drive separately.

Hi Terry, There are multiple different WD 3tb SATA III drives, but this enclosure will work with any 3.5" SATA drive - that's the only thing that matters. I would note that this enclosure, being only USB 2.0, will not benefit from the speed over a SATA III drive verses a SATA II drive, so if you find a cheaper 3.5" drive, feel free to go with the cheaper option.

There's nothing OS-specific about the enclosure, anything with eSATA "port multiplier" support should work fine.
