CardBus Adapter -- eSATA Technology for Notebook PCs The Addonics CardBus eSATA adapter (ADCB ADCB Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank 2SA-E) delivers fast eSATA transfer rates to notebook PCs via the CardBus slot. When used with Addonics' family of eSATA cables users can achieve as much as three times the data transfer rate of the USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0. Maximum data throughput is 150 MB/sec, which equals PCI Bus performance. Users can add two eSATA ports to their notebook PCs through a single CardBus slot with the Addonics CardBus adapter. The adapter supports hard drives of 137 GBs and higher in one large partition. The adapter will also work with all Addonics "Pocket" and "Mobile" series optical storage, DVDs and CD solutions when used with Addonics' external SATA interface cables. Drivers are included for Windows NT 4.0, 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP. List price of the Addonics CardBus eSATA adapter is $49.99. Users are assured compatibility with both solutions because Addonics offers a complete cabling solution for external SATA applications. All Addonics external SATA cables are constructed with metal clip connectors for reliable insertion and tighter connection, which is needed for external applications. The cables are also heavily shielded and wired to increase EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. protection and ensure SATA signal integrity over a two-meter distance.
