  • Convert eSATA to SATA [ Help needed ]

OK so I have an iMac which does not have an Esata port and an external Bluray player with only E-sata connection. So basically a USB to Esata converter should work but I could not find such thing in Lebanon ( I've been looking since over a month )

What I have is a USB to SATA adapter, to connect external SATA 2.5 HDD drivers and a power adapter. But since the Bluray drive doesn't need more than 5V 0.9mA , I think it can be powered from USB only.

The bluray drive is in an enclosure. I tried to connect the Esata to the Sata but it is not working. The device is remaining OFF.

I am not very familiar with eSata technology to be honest, so if someone can give a hand, I'd be thankful.

What I need is a way to connect the eSata drive to USB using USB to SATA converter.

Thanks.
would this do the job? you can find that on pcandparts.com for 18$ +vat
i don't think using usb 2.0 is an option, blueray drive needs better speeds than a usb 2.0 can offer
Nop it's totally different, the SATA port I have is the small one.
small one? what small one ?
pics would be useful if you can
looks like a regular esata, i don't think what you're looking for is easy to find
problem solved, @Admins, feel free to lock the thread.
