Review on SinLoon 2.5'' Hard Disk Drive SATA 22Pin to eSATA Data USB Powered Cable Adapter for SSD UASP SATA IIIEC-SSHD(Black) - Top Performance & Compatibility by Robert Sisco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

nice to have on hand! Always used.

This was recommended by a friend and co-worker to be able to clone hard drives on the fly in case we needed to clone physical drives but didn't have any on hand. Since then, I've used this ingenious device to quickly transfer data from another internal hard drive (laptop drive), clone hard drives, and even install operating systems for other people using my laptop. The only doubt I have is that due to Dell's brilliant idea of having an Esata port on the back of a laptop and not having a USB port for power next to it, you're going to have to stretch that bad boy to basically do this to do the cable fits, making it much more likely to break on you (like the previous one); hence the docked stars for durability. Otherwise, this is a MUST HAVE for anyone dealing with other people's drives or if you just want to connect another 2.5" laptop drive and transfer data or just use it as an external device.

Pros
  • External Shielded SATA 6Gb/s Cable provides high performance external serial (eSATA) connection from your computer or DVR to external storage devices with eSATA ports. Replace or upgrade the internal hard drive of the DVR or satellite receiver. Connect to an external SSD dock for faster data transfer than USB 3.0 for file backup and storage expansion.
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
