Product DescriptionInitially SATA was designed as an internal or inside-the-box interface technology, bringing improved performance and new features to internal PC or consumer storage. Creative designers quickly realized the innovative interface could reliably be expanded outside the PC, bringing the same performance and features to external storage needs instead of relying on USB or 1394 interfaces. Called external SATA or eSATA, customers can now utilize shielded cable lengths up to 2 meters outside the PC to take advantage of the benefits the SATA interface brings to storage. SATA is now out of the box as an external standard, with specifically defined cables, connectors, and signal requirements released as new standards. eSATA provides more performance than existing solutions and is hot pluggable.

Was recognized in windowsXP and Linux (redHat and ubuntu) with no problems, BUT it would not work with 2 different esata devices using 2 different cables. Windows will show the device connected half the time and then fail.... not worth returning for $6. This was not a driver/config issue, it was just a really cheap item issue.
