Pros: Works, very nicely with SSD. Cheaper than dealing with USB 3.0 for now. So I don't have a 16GB USB 3.0 slow flash drive. Instead I got a 64GB eSATA super fast iPod sized drive. I much rather have the storage space and speed vs tiny size. Must research drive speeds! To many folks out there are looking at "Oh, sata 2 is 300MBps or 3Gbps" Refreshing the little b is bit and large B is byte. 8bit = 1 byte. That doesn't mean that is how fast your drive is. That is just how fast the bus is. A SSD reading at 285 and writing at 275 will blow away any USB 3.0 flash drive reading at 85 and writing at 25 Without doing your research, you could buy a drive expecting great speeds and NOT get them! Then you are quick to pass your judgement saying USB 3.0 bites when in fact it does not.
Cons: None on the product itself. Power over eSATA does NOT draw enough power to work for power hungry hard drives. I did my research in advance and bought me a Kingston SSD and it works flawless.
Overall Review: Please refrain from putting Tech Knowledge at High if you don't plan on researching your item first!
