SLOT BRACKET SATA 2xSATA L to eSATA I Goobay 93046

The SLOT BRACKET SATA 2xSATA L to eSATA I from WENTRONIC (Goobay 93046) provides two internal SATA connections converted to an external eSATA I port via a low-profile expansion bracket. With a red front panel and a 0.5 m cable, this accessory lets you expand connectivity on desktop systems to attach external SATA storage devices without opening the case frequently. The assembly occupies a single PCI slot and routes two internal SATA L-shaped connectors to a single external eSATA I interface for direct-attached external drives.

Advantages

This slot bracket offers a straightforward and space-saving way to add an eSATA I port to a desktop PC using existing internal SATA headers. The 0.5 m cable length provides reasonable routing options behind the motherboard tray while the low-profile bracket fits slim enclosures. The red front adds clear visual identification at the rear of the chassis. Designed for direct-attached storage, the bracket maintains SATA signal integrity for reliable data transfer when connected to compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting external SATA hard drives and SSDs to a desktop PC
• Expanding a system’s external storage interface without adding a controller card
• Home or small office setups requiring occasional hot-swap or direct-attached storage access

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: 2× internal SATA (L-shaped) to 1× external eSATA I
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Bracket type: low-profile PCI slot bracket
• Front panel color: red
• Mounting: occupies one standard rear PCI slot

How to use

Install the bracket into an available rear PCI slot on a powered-off desktop tower and secure it with the existing screw. Connect two internal SATA data cables from free SATA headers on the motherboard or SATA controller to the L-shaped connectors on the bracket cable. Route the cable neatly behind the motherboard tray to avoid interference with cooling. After reassembling the case and powering on the system, connect an external eSATA device to the external port; the operating system should recognize the drive if the motherboard or controller supports eSATA connections.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, use SATA cables that meet your SATA generation requirements and ensure the motherboard SATA controller firmware supports external eSATA devices. When connecting high-performance SSDs, verify that the host controller provides the necessary SATA speed. Avoid forcing connectors and keep cables clear of cooling fans to maintain airflow.
