eSATA cable included? Hi folks,Can anyone tell me if the Free Agent Pro eSATA comes with the eSATA cable? I can find no mention of the actual cable. Thanks!

No eSATA cable... I thought an eSATA card came with it. Guess I'll have to find one.

eSATA cable does not come with the drive. You can buy one separately for about $20. Figure that into your cost.

Actually, I do not think it is the case that power is supplied from the USB port. At least not according to what I have read about the Free Agent Pro.

Sorry, I don't remember. It was a bad experience across the board. Save yourself some aggravation, buy the Vantec NexStar HX 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0/eSATA HDD Enclosure with Fan NST-330SU3-BK (copy & paste in Amazon's search). Handles Sata II with throughput via USB 3.0 and eSata. Sure it's an extra $13-14, but shipping is free, not with the Sabrent (assuming a single purchase).

Although the item in question does have both an eSata port as well as an internal Sata port, unfortunately you must sacrifice the internal Sata port in which you have available to you only to allow it as use for a pass-through to the external eSata port as, without this pass-through, the eSata port would not function.

Not sure where to get one but it does have an eSATA port and 2 Firewire 800 ports you can use also. I would email the support at G-Tech for assistance.

I have a router with an eSATA port that can used for a media drive. Can this HD be used in an eSATA stand alone enclosure with an 80mm fan for cooling? Thank you in advance for any information.

I couldn't tell you. I never had a Pro-Line. The Badboy has worked fine for me.

Yes. The USB 3.0 cable has two ports on it. One port is for USB 3.0. The other is for power for the eSata port. The eSata cable as i said is included. Two know the difference between the two cable ports; one is black (USB 3.0 [backwords compatible with USB2.0]) the other port is white. the black cable port is able to be used on both sides of the cord.

If you compare the two products on Asus' website, it shows no spec difference. However, the pro has one less PCI slot for one more GPU/PCI-E expansion slot. Which on the grand scheme of differences is practically nothing. Oh, and the Pro has an internal eSATA port. eSATA isn't really in use for general users, so it probably doesn't make a difference except in price.

I am uncertain weather it supports eSATAp specifically. I do know that there is an eSATA port on the case next to the mini USB port. My guess is that it does support it since eSATAp is a hot swappable device.

It's been a while, but as I remember, it came only with a USB cable, the drive is fantastic, and when I plug the USB cable into my new PC with USB 3 ports, it does run much faster than when I had it in my old PC with USB 2 ports and eSATA. On my old PC, the eSATA was much faster, but on the new one, even though the drive is rated USB 2, it is quite fast. Like others here have said, on Amazon, you can buy an eSATA cable for very little.

The ports on the front of the case (2x USB 3.0, 1x eSATA, 2x USB 2.0, HDD Dock) function similar to a USB Hub. In that all of those ports connect to the motherboard via only one regular SATA cable. So to answer your question it connects to a regular SATA port not an eSATA port.

Mine came with a 12' Mini-coaxial cable, with male "F" connectors on each end. However, I didn't buy mine from Amazon, but a national home improvement chain. I notice that some suppliers (including the Channel Master site) claim that the cable is not included, while Amazon is rather vague about any hardware and accessories included in their package. So, (1) someone else, who actually bought it from Amazon should give you a better answer, and (B) You need to be careful in comparing prices unless you know exactly what is included, or you already have enough coax on hand.

Nope!! Have to purchase one, I believe it came with a USB, but not eSATA. That would have been nice

Comes with USB 3.0 and eSATA cables. These are standard cables. You can find them on Amazon if you need them.

What Cable is it your looking for USB or ESATA. I'm not sure were you live but you should be able to buy them at a computer store, BestBuy, Staples or a fry's Electronics if you have them in your area or you can go online and purchase them from the stores web site as well.
