Hey guys, i bought a WD My Book 500GB that has USB,Firewire and eSATA. Now i wanted to use eSATA but the HDD did not come with that cable, only firewire and USB. I Am using firewire for now but i would like using the eSATA connection since it's faster and my PC has an external port. Problem is in Lebanon i could not find these cables, every store tells me that a standard SATA cable should work but i am aware it does not. So can anybody help me find an eSATA cable in lebanon or a middle east store i can ship from ? THX.
As far as I know they are not the same. However, most sites ship internationally and shouldn't charge a lot for International Postage on such a small piece of hardware.
I use eSata for my external 1TB drive and I have 3 internal Sata drives. Let me tell you there absolutly not the same, the different cables will not fit each others ports.
