I want to attach a USB Drive to my motherboard with SATA. It is a liveUSB with Ubuntu Linux installed, but USB 2.0 is slow... So is there some kind of USB to SATA SATA (PC side interface) to USB (device side interface) cable?
Thanks.
Edit: I know about eSATAp but I don't think I have a port for that. I want to attach my USB to the port where the HDD is attached.
If your motherboard has a 4-pin USB internal header, you can get an eSATAp adaptor for it.
Other than that, I cannot find a SATA->USB adaptor only USB->SATA.
Of course, you could remove the drive from it's USB housing and put it in a housing with a SATA connection exposed.
Alternatively, you could mount it internally if you have room. It wouldn't be portable then of course.
