Worked for me!
I have esata swappable drives and just bought a new Mabook Air (mid 2017) with Usb3 ports. I purchased these cable and plugged them in and they just worked. No hassles. I was very surprised! Highly recommend. They are a little pricey but seems to be a good investment.
Not Reversible
Will not work when connected as:
PC connection is an eSATA and the disk connections is USB3 on Windows 10.
We apologize for any confusion when purchasing our USB3S2ESATA3. As stated below the title of the adapter, it is designed to connect a USB computer to an eSATA drive and does not work in the opposite direction. At this time we do not have an adapter to connect a computer with eSATA to a USB device.
Windows10-yes...Mac 10.13.6-no
This cable works great on my Windows10 machine, allowing use of the external esata drive. But, it is not recognized on my 2013 MacBookPro running OSX 10.13.6, High Sierra.
We apologize for the difficulties you're experiencing when trying to use our USB3S2ESATA3 with your MacBook Pro. We'd like to speak with you further regarding this as the adapter should work in every modern operating system and uses the standard mass-storage controller drivers built into every modern OS. Please contact us directly for assistance at www.startech.com/support. Our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to provide support.
Great on Win10 - No use on Raspbian Buster
This adapter provides transfer speeds up to 90MB/sec with a HDD SATA-III.
However Raspbian OS Buster on a Raspberry Pi 4 will put this adapter into Quirks mode (BOT) taking the transfer speed down to a lousy 8-10 MB / sec.
