ESATA/USB-Combo-Port on T520 connect to external Harddrive case

Hello.
I have a eSATA/USB-Combo-Port on a T520. I think there are cables to connect a 2,5" Harddisk direct to the Port with only one cable for eSATA and Power.
I am looking for an external case for a 2,5" Harddisk that have a USB-Port (to connect to other Computers) AND a Port for my eSATA/USB-Combo-Port.
Does anyone know where to buy a suitable Case?
I Want to connect the Disk to my T520 using the eSATA speed (with one cable) with the option to connect it to other computers who only have USB 2.0.
Thank you very much.
Jens

Hi Jens,
I haven't thought to look for one of those before.  Is this the kind of thing you're after?

I think eSATAp is the key here, if I understand your question.
[edit] the 1st link is an eSATAp only cable, so it doesn't help with your "other computer" connections.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-424SA Laptop - eSATA/USB combo port does not allow eSATA connection

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an external HDD with eSATA connection for use with my Compaq Presario CQ61-424SA laptop.
    The specification on the laptop states it has a eSATA/USB combo port however there doesn't appear to be one. On closer inspection there is 2 USB ports on the right hand side of the laptop (which work fine with USB devices) and one on the left which is slightly wider than the other 2 (which also works fine with USB devices). However when trying to connect an eSATA cable to the port it does not fit and on closer inspection it does not look like the conventional eSATA/USB combo ports.
    Does anyone know if this laptop was spec'd incorrectly or does indeed have an eSATA/USB combo port.
    The cable I'm using was supplied with the external HDD I brought with connections as shown in this link.. http://www.comesource.com/storeweb/images/cable%20esata%20to%20esata.jpg
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, I am having the same problem with the "e-sata/usb shared port" , which does not look like a normal e-sata port, and the e-sata connector won't fit in it.
    Can anybody help us?

  • R700-S1330 Esata/USB combo port

    Does anyone knows if Esata/USB combo port come with 5V power for both Esata and USB or just USB only?  Somehow I connected power over esata cable (Esatap) to my 2.5" SSD without 2.5" enclosure and can be detect.  But when I plug the cable to my bodie's Lenovo Y560 Esata/USB combo port, he seems able to get a detection.
    Anybody has any idea or had same problem before? 

    Can we replace the ODD with an SSD in R700-S1331? I'd appreciate some detailed instructions on how to remove the ODD and install an SSD in its place. Thank you.

  • ESATA/USB combo port on T410?

    It's listed in the specs as a eSATA/USB combo port.
    I've looked at the port and I just don't see how a USB connector can fit in there.
    So what does this mean exactly?
    T410(2537) -- i7 620M - Intel HD GPU (1440 x 900) - 8GB RAM - 128GB Crucial M4 SSD - 250GB Hitachi HDD - Windows 7 & 8 Pro

    Its ok. Ive found out that in fact it isn't a combo port.
    Thanks.

  • Esata/usb combo port

    HP Compaq Presario CQ61
    Does the combo port function as a standalone esata as well as a Usb port.
    I want to use the esata with my Hard Disk Docking Station but it appears not to work.
    It does work using the Usb option from the combo Usb part.

    Enclosures are all over the place. That particular type of cable though is not. Though if you want it you may try emailing monoprice.com. If they can source it and feel it is worth selling they will get it in. They have done this in the past for me.
    http://sewelldirect.com/Koutech5V12VPowerOvereSATAcablewithSATAHDDAdapter_specs.asp?source=froogle&u...
    That being said, many of the descriptions i Have seen indicate this type of port actually uses Power Over eSATA and if that is the case then you can use the above adapter in a similar way.

  • A665 USB combo port specs - Which one?, eSATA specs?

    Ok, the specification sheet for the A665-s6057 and others of the A665 series say:
    4 USB v2.0 ports (3 USB _ 1 esata/USB combo with USB sleep and charge)
    OK, I'll bite:
    1. Which port is the sleep and charge/eSATA port?
    My  best guess is the one nearest the eSATA port
    More important, what's the speed of the eSATA port.  Is it limited to the USB 2 speed of 480 Mb/sec?

    To answer your questions:
    1) Which port is the sleep and charge/eSATA port?
    Look like this and usually is found on the left side of a notebook from what I have seen although this is not always the case.  That being said, your owners manual from the box or that can be downloaded from Toshiba will tell you which port is and where.
    2) More important, what's the speed of the eSATA port.  Is it limited to the USB 2 speed of 480 Mb/sec?
    As for speeds, again, if not specified in the owners manual, check the following link for more info.  Specifically, read the eSATA and eSATAp sections about a quarter of the way down the page.

  • How to connect an external harddrive with firewire 800 to a macbook with firewire 400?

    Hello,
    I just got the external harddrive "Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB 3.0 1TB" with a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Kabel FireWire 800. I have neither a USB 3.0, nor a Firewire 800 on my white macbook (2008). I already know, that it's possible to use USB 3.0 with an USB 2.0 port, but I would like to use it with the firewire to spare the USB port for other devices. My question: Is there an adapter or cable to use the Seagate Firewire 800 with my Firewire 400 port? I don't know, where and what to look for.
    I'm glad for any advice.

    There are many adaptors, try here

    I had the exact same problem, here is what helped me, hopefully it will help you also...
    I have been using my airport disk (edge_diskgo external HD) now for about 3 weeks, it has been rock solid... until tonight after the firmware update.
    My macs could not locate the airport disk, but my pc's still could.
    (Maybe this was how the security problem was solved? You can no longer access the Airport disk from macs? Brilliant!)
    It turns out that all I had to do on my both my macs is go to
    Airport disk utility (just type that in spotlight) and check
    both boxes: Automatically discover Airport Disks
    Show Airport disks in menu bar
    Then I went to the top right hand side of the menu bar, and clicked on the airport disk utility icon, clicked on my basestation name and entered my basestation password.
    I also had following settings in Airport Utility/Disks/File sharing:
    File sharing is enabled
    secure shared disks (with base station password)
    Guest access (not allowed)
    Share disks over ethernet wan port (checked)..
    Advertise disks globally using bonjour (not checked)
    My drives are back up with all of their contents, working now, we will see how they do tomorrow.
    Thanks for all the help on this post, special Thanks to trevinwagner, hope this helps someone else.... its very late, Goodnight all

  • Is it possible to connect and external Harddrive via ethernet?

    I have an external Harddrive and the USB port on it has stopped working. It has an Ethernet which I have tried plugging into then onto my mac. It says it is conected but I can't access the Harddrive. Is it possible to do this?

    I don't think that is possible the hard drive is designed to be part of a network.  You should try plugging it into a router. 

  • My headphone port no longer connects to external speaker

    The external speaker works with my phone so I know the speaker works. The speaker doesn't work with the hdmi cable and was working right before I connected the cable. Now it doesn't work with iTunes or anything coming from the computer. Just my phone.

    Hi inthetrees,
    Happy New Year!  If you are not hearing sound from your headphone jack on your computer, I have a few things you can try.  First, disconnect the cable from the headphone jack and restart your computer.  This might reset everything.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, take a look at the article below and confirm the sound output settings for your external speaker.  The article is for our most recent operating system, but the instructions for accessing the sound settings is the same.
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your computer’s sound output settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18960
    You can play sound through your computer’s internal speakers, your display’s speakers (if it has speakers), or through speakers, headphones, or other equipment plugged into your Mac or available wirelessly through AirPlay. 
    Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output). 
    Choose a sound output device
    From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices. 
    For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.
    Adjust sound output settings
    You can adjust balance and volume for sound output with the controls in the preference pane. If you select the “Show volume in menu bar checkbox,” a volume control appears in the menu bar so that you can turn the volume up or down from anywhere. To set a separate volume for alert sounds, click the Sound Effects tab. 
    Depending on your Mac and the devices you use, you may be able to set other volume options using the Audio MIDI Setup app.
    If you use apps that have volume controls (for example, iTunes or iMovie), their settings can only be equal to or less than the computer’s output volume. They do not override the settings you choose in Sound preferences. 
    Adjust your computer’s sound input settings
    If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
    If a selected audio device reverts to another audio device
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Problem connecting to external harddrive

    I've read loads of threads all over the internet about people having similar problems to me but so far I am yet to find any answers or a solution to my problem!
    I've got a new macbook pro 13" running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I am trying to connect it to my external hard drive, a Freecom Hard Drive Pro 500GB using firewire. So far finder has not been picking it up and neither has disk utility, yet system profiler still recognises it when I select the firewire tab, it just doesnt seem to want to mount. I have also tried using usb to connect the drive and this isn't working either.
    I previously used this drive with my iMac G5 and that was when the problem started so I'm guessing that it is a problem with my drive instead? I have a complete backup on my external drive of my imac, plus around 100 movies and a approx 100gb of music and loads of applications so I'm hoping I can save these and get my drive to mount with out reformatting or anything...
    Can anyone give me a hand in fixing my problem?
    Many thanks

    What does System profiler actually "see" under the firewire tab, Ed?
    If all is well with the drive then it should show the bridge in the enclosure, and then, indented beneath this, information about the drive itself (Capacity, the fact that it is removable, its BSD name, partition Map Type, etc) and then, indented again, the name of any volume or volumes on the drive, available free space on the volume, Whether it is writable, the File System in use on it, BSD name and Mount Point.
    If it only shows the bridge in the enclosure, but not the drive itself, then either the bridge is faulty, or the HD itself is faulty, or the two are not properly connected to each other inside the enclosure, or the drive is not receiving sufficient power to run.
    Cheers

  • W510 eSATA/USB2.0 combo port does not respond after waking up from sleep mode

    Has anyone tried to connect external DVD/CD player or burner to the eSATA/USB combo port and experienced very slow system performance after waking up from sleep mode?  It might takes minutes to launch an application program that usually takes just few seconds.  My W510 can not even restart.  It will just stop at the Thinkpad logo if I tried to restart after waking up from sleep.
    The funny thing is if I moved the external DVD/CD player to the USB2.0 port in the back, everything went back to normal.  I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the combo port has something to do with eSATA.
    Thanks

    It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
    Thanks.

  • Can't connect two external drives via USB hub to the same port.

    I have two external hard drives connected to my MacBook Air, along with other USB devices, using a powered USB hub. When I connect both external drives to the same port via the USB hub, one of them disconnects with an error message saying it was improperly disconnected. The same thing happens when I connect one of the hard drives and an external DVD drive via the USB hub. The two drives work fine when connected to separate ports. Other USB devices coexist with one of the drives quite happily. Can anyone explain why this is?

    External drives may well require more power than a port can supply. Also, many USB hubs cannot be used for external drives. It's always best to connect an external drive directly to the USB port. If the drive enclosure has a second USB port on it, then you can daisy-chain a second drive to the first, sometimes.
