    eSATA to USB 3 adapter?


    Sort of a hardware question:
    I I have an old PC with an front panel eSATA port (not power eSATA or eSATA + USB) and a couple USB 2 ports but no USB 3 ports. I have no need for eSATA but have a number of USB 3.0 devices. I've been looking for an eSTAT-m to USB 3.0-f adapter or cable but have not been able to find any. I've seen many USB-m to eSATA-f and several eSATAp-m to USB-f.

    <many more web searches occurred here>

    I now understand that the eSATA interface does not provide power so the adapter I'm looking for would have to be a powered Adapter. Knowing that doesn't seem to help. Does anybody know of such a beast?

    :)

    eSATA device not recognized

    Hi - I am having this same problem, I believe. My external hard drive (Fantom GFP2000Q3 Pro 2TB USB/eSata/Firewire) was working perfectly with Windows 7. I had it attached to my laptop using the eSata port. After I upgraded to Windows 10, however, it
    just was not recognized at all. I discovered that it works just fine when I plug it into the USB 3.0 port - Windows automatically recognizes it and it operates perfectly. When I plug it back into the eSata port though - nothing. I tried running the Troubleshooter
    (as suggested above) but Windows still did not even know it's plugged in.

    I contacted Fantom, and they told me that these drives do not require any drivers to be installed with "modern" operating systems... everything it needs is already there in the OS.

    So - try plugging your drive into the USB port (if your drive has one) and see if that makes it pop up. Post here if you find a solution to the problem, please.

    Thanks!

    - Amy
