SATA 1 m eSATA Cable — Clean, Reliable Link for External HDD/SSD Enclosures, Docks & DVRs

The SATA eSATA Cable (1 m) gives you a stable, low-overhead connection between computers, recorders and external SATA enclosures or drive docks that expose an eSATA port. Unlike generic USB leads, eSATA is designed specifically for storage traffic, keeping protocol translation to a minimum and allowing your system to communicate with drives over a direct SATA-style path. That means predictable throughput, responsive directory browsing and snappy large-file transfers—especially handy for backup rotations, media ingest, DVR expansion and quick disk-to-disk clones. The neat 1-meter length routes easily behind towers, on AV racks and across bench tops without creating messy loops, while a flexible jacket supports tight, orderly bends through cable guides and along shelves. Each end features standard eSATA male plugs with a precise, positive fit that resists accidental slips during copy jobs. With molded strain-relief at both ends, the cable is built to shrug off everyday plug/unplug cycles in IT rooms, studios and service counters where gear moves around regularly. Performance is device-dependent—your controller and enclosure negotiate the generation and limits they support—so the cable won’t bottleneck capable hardware, and it won’t “boost” older gear beyond its spec; it simply provides a clean, dependable physical layer you can trust session after session.

If your workflow includes swapping bare drives in and out of a dock for archiving or footage offload, the direct SATA semantics of eSATA can make maintenance simpler: volumes mount like internal disks, SMART data may be visible to utilities (where supported), and host-side hot-swap can work in operating systems and controllers that enable it. For field kits and classrooms, labeling both ends (e.g., “Workstation A → eSATA Dock”) keeps handovers fast, and using a single high-quality cable instead of daisy-chained adapters reduces wear on ports. Whether you’re extending a home DVR to external storage, staging assets for an edit, or rotating weekly backups, this cable focuses on consistency, tidy installs and straightforward plug-and-play.
