I can't rate this product (but I am required to select a rating in order to enter a comment) because I never got it to work on my Dell XPS 420 desktop computer. I just bought three GoFlex drives that I use with the supplied USB 2.0 cable for external data backup. I wanted to get more performance out of one by using the eSATA connection on my Dell 420. I ordered this product, but when it did not work, I Googled the issue and it turns out some people had to reinstall their operating system with a certain parameter set to make this work on the Dell 420. No way was I going to do that! So I reluctantly returned the upgrade cable.

Works great with my Dell latitude in both Windows 7 and Linux. The whole GoFlex product line is one of the best tech related things I have seen in a long time.

Bought this to go with the 500 GB GoFLex pro Hard drive for my Windows based computer with Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit version. I have a Sony Vaio model # VPCF115FM and it was plug and play. Works better then expected after reading other reviews. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for an eSATA portable hard drive and wants really fast hook up.

I like the GoFlex system and looked forward to increasing the speed when connected to my home desktop by using this eSATA cable rather than USB 2.0. No such luck. Dead. Turns out, you have to have a powered "eSATAp" port on your machine. Many eSATA ports are not. Since the portable GoFlex (2.5") drives do not use AC adapters and depend on the cable for power, you must have an eSATAp port. It would have been nice if this were made clear on Amazon. I found it out when I went to Seagate's site when my drive would not run. Too bad I threw away the package, so I'm out $13. Time to buy an USB 3.0 card for my computer.

This interface option is well worth the price. I wanted a fast portable external drive and the eSATA plug for the GoFlex drive is an excellent solution. On Windows 7, using USB 2.0 (I don't have USB 3.0 but do have built in eSATA) I was getting about 26MB/second. With the eSATA plug I am getting 78MB/second for a group of files, almost 3 times as fast. While I realize that SATA has a much higher maximum throughput, 3Gb/second, 2.5" drives do not. The applications that heavily access the drive seem to run as fast as they do on the internal drive.
Pros: Speed, convenience, price
Cons: I would like the cord to be a little longer or to be replaceable.
