Ruby 6G external hard drive kit with eSATAp cable and
set of power tips. For 2.5" SATA I / II / III HDD/SSD. Black aluminum
casing. Shock and vibration resistant. Include 5V power adapter
Anatomy of the Ruby drive enclosure
The Ruby ExDrive kit can connect to standard eSATA port, eSATA / USB hybrid port (EUHP) that appears on many new Notebook systems, USB 3.0 or 2.0 port using an optional USB 3.0 - eSATAp adapter. Depending on the implementation by the Notebook manufacturer, the eSATA performance can be as fast as 6 Giga bits per sec, almost 15 times the speed of USB 2.0.
Power and data via a single eSATA cable (power over eSATA)
By connecting to the eSATA / USB hybrid port (EUHP) with the Addonics eSATAp cable, the Ruby ExDrive can be directly powered from the Notebook with high speed eSATA connection - the combination of true portability and fastest drive performance similar to internal hard drive. The Ruby ExDrive can also be directly powered from USB port when using the Addonics eSATAp cable in conjunction with the USB3.0 - eSATAp adapter.

* When using 6G hard drive or SSD, the standard
Ruby enclosure may encountered connectivity problem or degraded data
transfer with some drives in combination with certain computers. The 6G
drive enclosure or Ruby drive kit is recommended when installing 6G
HDD/SSD. In the Drive Cartridge application, the Ruby drive cradle (the
unit that mounts inside the drive bay) will also needs to be the 6G
version in order to have reliable connection and maximum data
throughput.
