What is ESATA connector?

PATA, (Parallel Advanced Technology) was the original interface for connecting hard drives to desktop computers that came in 1986. SATA (Serial ATA) was launched in 2002 and provided faster speeds and SATA II provided even faster speeds. ESATA (extended serial ATA), which is faster than SATA II, allows units to connect externally, while only internal connection is possible for previous technologies. With the ability to connect external units, there was a problem to select the appropriate ESATA connector, and while other external hard drives can be connected using USB 2.0 or Firewire 400 or 800, the ESATA connector differs from them from the internal connector. ESATA connectors are also hot pluggable, which means that the cable can be connected and disconnected, while the computer is running without required to close for security. A computer with a USB 2.0 and eSATA connector. In order to connect an external hard disk to connect an external hard drive must have a fixed diSK and computer ESATA connector and user must own a suitable ESATA cable that can have a maximum of 6.56 ft (2 m). In 2004, ESATA standards for connectors, cables and signals were issued.

ESATA connectors are designed to prevent internal cables that are unhappy for external cables. In addition to limiting the risk of electrostatic discharge damage (ESD), the plug is further inserted into the connector before its application, than before - 0.26 V (6.6 mm) instead of 0.20 V (5 mm). The eSATA connector has metal contact points and retention springs built into the top and lower part of the shield and is designed for more than 5,000 advertising and removal. ESATA logo is a reserve for eSATA connectors and other products that meet SATA specification instructions and are members of SATA-II (Serial ATA International Organization®). According to SATA-II.
