You could connect it to the SATA port on a mainboard with an adapter cable, but I don't know what kind of thru put you would get.SATA to eSATA Cable

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

Supports ALL 2.5" Hard Drives (7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm, SSD)I put a 2.5" Laptop Hard Drive in mine and it works fine, however...Be advised this does not have a Power Supply.I had to plug in two USB Cables, one for the drive and one to power it.The unit comes with this two plug cable.

You need an "internal" SATA cable. A 12-18 inch cable will do. Look at the route the cable must take, and order one with either straight connectors or L-shaped connectors (one or both ends) as needed.

Yes, the Interface card has connectors on it that accept standard SATA drives for power and SATA connector

You can but, I don't know if you'll see improved I/O. I'm not sure what the SATA interface is to the drive. If it's an older generation you may not see improved throughput. Chances are you will see improved I/O. Just not sure how much.

I was never able to even get it to work with a standard PC SATA drive, sorry

This drive has a SATA interface, I don't know if you might be able to get an adapter.

No, this adapter is for putting an msata drive in a computer that has a standard sata connector.

This board requires four 4-pin ATA plugs. The board comes with the four 4-pin ATA plugs. Make sure your have a power supply that will accommodate these plugs. I had to buy adaptors (about $2 each) to plug into the SATA plugs.

I doubt it but maybe they manufacturer could give you a better answer. I used to connect a SATA HD to an old IDE computer. I worked great.

No worries just ensure that you motherboard has the correct port PCI-e x1 (desktops only, diagram here: http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/images/ct-images/2013/04/mb.jpg), then you simply slot the card into the port, it comes with a couple of SATA data connection cables so you only need to make sure your PSU has sata power connectors available depending on the number of drives you wish to connect (they look like this: http://sharpsblogorama.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sata-hard-drive-power-cable-connector.jpg) . Hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any further queries or are stuck.

The SATA port is only an extension of your motherboard ports. You must connect a SATA data cable from the motherboard to the card. I connected the power cable also, but I don't think this is require for the cards external eSATA to function. I have been unsuccessful in install the drivers for the USB 3.0 ports, so mine don't work. I am also using Windows 7 64-bit. Jeff

You'll need to buy an adaptor -- without being powered the USB 2 ports don't work (at least for me). The adaptor is a couple of bucks... the good news is that the molex power connector on the device has both a male and female connector; you'll probably need a female SATA to molex power connector (these are relatively rare). It's too bad that the power connector on this device did not include a sata connector.

You need a standard SATA cable, not E-SATA cable up to level 3.0. you only need to order one that's long enough for your installation.

The card reader functionality requires the USB connection. The sata connection is just for the esata port.

Yep. My Seagate Desktop 4TB HDD had no problem connecting, so you should have no trouble.

Hello, I bought it some months ago.Just use the SATA cable and the power cable connected to your mother board and that's it.

If you've got the requisite port, there shouldn't be a problem. There's no drivers to play around with, it behaves like a traditional HDD: plug and play.
