I have a laptop (Dell Precision M 6700) with an eSATA plug and some free USB ports. What type of cable do I need to plug the SATA SSD to the eSATA and power it? Is there a cable with eSATA on a side and data + power SATA plugs on the other side? I have looked on some seller websites but I don't know how this cable is named.
I already have an external USB hard drive enclosure, I can put in it a SATA drive in order to connect it through USB but I think it will be slower with USB interface instead of eSATA.
Edit: I found the SATA 22 Pin to eSATA Data + USB Power Cable cable @ NewEgg and SATA 22 pin to eSATA USB @ Amazon.fr. Is it the right type of cable? Will it deliver enough power to the SSD?
Answer
I bought a SATA 22 pin to eSATA USB and it worked.
Here is the cable model:
