Addonics eSATA to USB 2.0 converter

Notebooks that do not come with an eSATA port cannot be used with eSATA hard drives, although all that can be changed by picking up the eSATA to USB 2.0 converter from Addonics. Although you will suffer from some speed problems as the peak data transfer rate maxes out at 32MB/s, it is better than having an eSATA hard drive lying around as an expensive paperweight. This device also enables you to use standard SATA drives with you notebook. Each purchase comes with software that supports RAID and port multipliers. Addonics is currently putting up the eSATA to USB 2.0 converter for $29.95 a pop.
