MANHATTAN Combines E-Sata And USB Into A Single Integrated Connector

With the growing amount and forms of media, eSATA drive enclosures, flash drives and other external devices are becoming popular storage options. Without an energized port and greater power requirements of high-performance eSATA peripherals, its implementation has been limited. To meet demands for expanded capacities, speeds and convenience, many notebook computer and peripheral manufacturers have adopted a new eSATA+USB port that combines eSATA performance with USB ease in a single connector. This 2-in-1 data-power hybrid eliminates the need to carry a power adapter and keeps limited USB ports free to attach other peripherals.

Ideal for newer notebook computers equipped with an eSATA+USB port, the MANHATTAN eSATA+USB to USB Adapter connects and permits simultaneous use of eSATA and USB devices with data transfer eSATA speeds up to 3 Gbps and Hi-Speed USB speeds up to 480 Mbps. It can also simplify data and power connections when using USB-powered eSATA devices.

MANHATTAN eSATA+USB Cables are offered in configurations that connect an eSATA+USB device to an eSATA+USB port at full eSATA data transfer speeds and 5 V + 12 V USB power. Others connect USB or eSATA devices at their respective full data transfer speeds with 5 V USB power.

MANHATTAN offers a complete, single source of personal computing solutions for work, home and mobile venues. Its expansive range of innovative products protected with a lifetime warranty and comprehensive technical support reinforce its commitment to personal computer users worldwide.
