The 2 Port eSATA 6G ExpressCard will instantly add the latest SATA III standard, with maximum data throughput up to 6Gbits/sec, to laptop system via a single Express Card slot. Together with Addonics' family of eSATA cabling system, Notebook users can enjoy the fastest performance with any external storage devices, as much as 10 times the data transfer rate of the USB 2.0.

Incorporating the new eSATA connector, this family of ExpressCard adapters provide secured cable connection, improved durability, increased EMI protection, and up to 2 meters cable length for external SATA connection. (For more detail on this new SATA external connector, please review the following white paper posted on SATA-IO.org
