Is this eSATA 3Gbps or 6Gbps?

I believe the speed is more dependent on what speed your PC and hard drive are capable of transferring data rather than the speed of this case. Most PC's that are set up for eSATA have an interface card that will determine the transfer rate as will the rating of the hard drive. This case should deliver whatever transfer rate the interface is designed to transfer data. If your hard drive is capable of transfer rates up to 6Gbps, but you PC's eSATA interface is not, then you will not get 6Gbps. My PC is designed to transfer up to the 3Gbps rates, so I cannot speak definitively as to whether or not it will transfer at 6Gbps, but I would say if your PC and hard drive are capable, then this case should not interfere with data transmission.

No, It wont work. USB to eSATA adapter is an uni-diretional, it wont do other way around. I highly recommend to use eSU3F8 that would cover ANY host interface

Mine has only a USB 3.0 jack. I'm not familiar with "eSATA"; I assumed it referred to the internal SATA interface where the drive itself plugs into the case.

Dear customer, thank you very much for contacting ORICO customer care team. The 6518SUS3 supports both USB3.0 and eSATA. It can work solely with eSATA. Any other doubts please feel free to contact us.

I think you mean SB6180. The SB6180 is supposed to be sold only by ISP's. That is one difference. Performance is much different: SB6121: 172Mbps download / 131Mbps upload. SB6180: 300-343Mbps download / 131Mbps Upload. The speed capabilities of the modem's are quite different. I would purchase the SB6180 again without a second thought.

There's nothing OS-specific about the enclosure, anything with eSATA "port multiplier" support should work fine.

I have hooked it up to a esata enclosure with 4 drives and it worked with no problem.

if the 3TB hard drives have eSata connection I think it shouldn't a problems to use it.

Yes... It says this in the specs too. In fact the package includes both the USB _and_ eSata cables.

Hard drive is 7mm SATA3 type with 6Gbps bandwidth, also you can use mSATA slot for expansion

Also, consider that to achieve full bandwidth of 6Gbps you need to really be driving the storage subsystem and have enough capacity elsewhere as well. The main point here is that most people do not need 6Gbps because they never approach 3Gbps in their normal day.

No, the drive is not shipped with an eSATA cable. The cable needs to be purchased separetly and is available from Amazon.com. However, the drive does work extremely well using the eSATA interface and is MUCH faster than the USB 2.0 interface.

This is up to the OS power management settings. I have a hard disk that can spin down on both eSATA and USB 3.0 interfaces.

StarTech PEXESAT32 2 Port SATA 6 Gbps PCI Express eSATA Controller Card states that it supports RAID0 and RAID1

It will work with both and according to Tom's Hardware bench testing you will not notice the difference in speed in normal use between 3 GBps and 6 GBps SATA.

I don't know. All I can find is this: Max. 5Gbps (USB 3.0), Max. 480Mbps (USB 2.0) & SATA 3Gbps
