The supplied eSATA cable worked as intended, letting you power the drive and connect at native SATA speeds over a single cable. Lenovo was smart enough to include a combo eSATA/USB port on the drive itself, to take advantage of notebooks with the matching combo port.

The case feels rugged and durable in your hand, with the internals also being kept out of harm’s way.
