Pros: If you need to extend your internal sata port to an esata device like a 2.5/3.5 sata external HD docking station, then it's a must for you. Cable is long enough for even ATX boards. The greatest benefit is that you dont downgrade your speed.
Cons: Only 1 port instead of 2 (a similar 2 port product with shorter sata cables is available on this website though) Since it only extends one sata port (no complicated circuitry), it probably should cost a little less than it does
Other Thoughts: Note: It just extends your sata port. It doesnt provide sata/esata if your motherboard doesnt have an available sata port.
Bottomline: If you want to connect esata device to you desktop, one of these is a mustDont settle for USB2 connection
Pros: I bought this mostly as filler for an empty expansion slot, and never ended up using it.That said, build quality seems fine, and installation is straightforward.
Cons: The SATA cable that comes out of the back of it could do with a few more inches of length. It's long _enough_ to reach the SATA slots on my motherboard, but it's too tight for me to be comfortable.
Other Thoughts: The packaging is pretty funny -- it has a picture of an early-90s Macintosh PC with the Windows XP logo being displayed on the monitor's screen.
Bottomline: If you need an eSATA port and have a slot available, I don't see what should stop you from buying this.
