Compact and portable, it’s the perfect companion for your MacBook Pro or any other Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop.
Connect to your existing eSATA devices
Extend the life of your external storage devices. Using the adapter's eSATA port, simply connect an eSATA-equipped external hard drive, solid-state drive or external enclosure.

Fast, reliable performance
Leverage your Thunderbolt 3 port to create a high-speed solution that offers both eSATA and USB 3.1 connectivity.

Both ports on the adapter deliver full bandwidth, so you avoid performance bottlenecks when the two ports are in use.
