First USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter hits the web.
How about some more USB 3.0 goodness? Fresh off of Buffalo’s 4-port USB 3.0 hub, another little USB 3.0 compatible piece of gadgetry you’ll want to add to your collection is the SIIG USB 3.0 to eSATA adatper. The gist of the adapter is pretty straight forward — it turns a USB 3.0 port into an eSATA port for that external USB 3.0 hard drive you don’t have yet. Hey, it never hurts to be ahead of the curve now does it?
For now, the adapter is Windows only, lacking support for both Linux and Mac. Though I expect the aforementioned OS’s to gain some support in due time. As an added bonus, this adapter is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and thanks to the increased power specs of USB 3.0, should power most external hard drives without a separate AC adpater. Super!
Pick yours up for $49.99 and prepare for the USB 3.0 onslaught that is set to begin later this year.
