eSATA cable for backup

[Guest W8N4U]

Is a eSATA 7pin cable (up to 3Gbps), the same thing as a eSATA II cable,

3Gbps? , for backing up data to a external hard drive? Thanks, Ginny

yes

Yes pretty much. Most eSATA cables cover the full rating anyway.

Here's a random link to where you can buy an eSATA cable if your local

store dosen't have one. Check the specs.

...or more choices

You do mean eSATA to eSATA right?

[Guest Lil' Dave]

Re: eSATA cable for backup

 

 

So, tell the difference between SATA and "eSATA". Could be genuine answer

for your question.

Another question, does it matter the purpose in your question?

Finally, what's it got to do with windows 98?

Huh? Knowing the difference between eSATA and SATA won't answer the lady's

question. She's comparing eSATA (or eSATA II) to eSATA (or eSATA II)

products, trying not to get the wrong cable. There IS a difference between

eSATA and eSATA II.

Again, "Huh?" The above makes no sense. Try again.

The fact that the lady is migrating from Win98 to Vista and wants to make

sure to get the right parts, those few that weren't already included with

the new external drive she also purchased, partly to back up the Win98

machine over the network.

 

So... I know I'm a regular a ** hole, what's eating you?

Re: eSATA cable for backup

 

Just wanted to know where "e" comes in, in eSATA. In my mind, I wasn't

really thinking SATA, but firewire. My bad.

 

So, here's the answer to the original post's question. See bottom of

webpage. Current cables and previous ones are SATAII compliant. Work for

both 1.5 and 3.0 Gb/s.

Re: eSATA cable for backup

 

Far as I can tell, it says just the opposite. Warns that there is hardware

out there that still conforms to old 1.0 specs and to beware of such,

particularly with cables. The differences in the specs can be found farther

up.

 

The question was whether the cables were both eSATA II, and the answer was

contained in the 3Gbps spec, which is what eSATA II is -- up to 3Gbps max ,

instead of 1.5 Gbps max.

Don't know if you corrected me, or, agreed with my conclusion...

We have a right to choose.

Choices have consequences,

for both self, and others.

You probably considered yourself.

Re: eSATA cable for backup

 

Then read my first sentence again. You claimed that all eSATA cables are

eSATA II compliant (can support 3Gbps), and the documentation both you and I

produced suggests that's not at all true.
