Talk:ESATAp

is esatap actually a standard?
My searches find a lot of user help sites but nothing official. If it is a standard does anyone know what the official name for it is? Plugwash (talk) 12:51, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah... is anyone actually using this? Thanks. ---Ransom (--208.25.0.2 (talk) 21:45, 15 October 2010 (UTC))

Hello, great thing to extract the eSATAp-Part and put it onto an single article. I can contribute some (official) links for you, maybe this will be helpful.

Do any of those links indicate that ESATAp is an actual device standard, as opposed to just two different ports jammed together? Kufat (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I see lots of package advertising products but no links to specifications. Plugwash (talk) 16:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I was under the impression that the more unofficial of the variants would be 'dual-power' (aka. "PD") but that the eSATA-USB standard itself was an officially recognized one. Daesin (talk) 12:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

esatap in laptop
Somethning is wrong with implementation section. It says eSATAp cannot be fit into laptop. But why? Nothing prevents it, it will just supply 5V. It is also just usefull even without additional power, as it essentially combines usb and esata port, thus using less space, and also allows devices to draw power from eSATAp's USB connector instead of using additonal Y-cable to USB power. Additionally article explicitly shwows Laptop with eSATAp port. So it is contradiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.213.255.7 (talk) 13:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

"+12V issue"
What a wall of text... I have no knowledge on the subject, but someone should trim that out. It's really intimidating.

 * ...Perhaps not trim it out completely, but use more efficient wording? 🤔 Daesin (talk) 12:23, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Merge with SATA
How come eSATAp gets its own article, but eSATA doesn't? This article doesn't really have enough of a reason to exist, it's just a small footnote for the already somewhat obscure eSATA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aluminite (talk • contribs) 23:31, 16 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Agree with the above unsigned comment. eSATA should be the main article and powered eSATA a section of it. Current setup is even more misleading because this article is the top hit when searching for eSATA in search engines. IdentityCrisis (talk) 17:27, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry about forgetting to sign my comment. I'm going to make eSATA into its own article now and merge this into it. Aluminite (talk) 04:43, 31 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree with the proposal to merge. Eklir (talk) 20:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * do you still think that eSATA needs it own page ... was looking to sort out the ESATAp merge, but it would be helpful to do this only once to a final target. Klbrain (talk) 09:34, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think having eSATA being its own thing would be a good idea, it was a fairly significant connector back in the late 2000s and the early 2010s. Also, if you search eSATA right now the first result is eSATAp, which isn't exactly right. Aluminite (talk) 16:50, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Before you can merge eSATAp into eSATA you need to split eSATA from SATA. Someone tried to do this in September 2009, but was reverted: "Reverted to redirect status (06:32, 18 October 2008 Meco); "article" is direct cut-and-paste dupe of sections from main SATA article made 3 days ago with negligible subsequent additions". Of course a WP:Summary style subtopic should never have less detail than its parent article – but it shouldn't be necessary to make subsequent additions to the sub-article if you reduce the parent section you just cut out to a summary of the topic, which wasn't done in 2009. Discussion about this matter is at Talk:Serial ATA/Archive 1. This just needs to be done all-the-way without leaving it half done hoping that someone else will finish the task. – wbm1058 (talk) 21:34, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I moved the September 2009 draft to Draft:eSATA. That needs an infobox, and other work to update it. eSATAp may be tentatively merged to the draft. Once the draft is a viable article it may be moved back over the top of the eSATA redirect. – wbm1058 (talk) 16:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Proposal: Rename "ESATAp" to 'eSATA-USB' & paste relevant information to here
(While keeping current sections, like on +12v pd/dual.) Daesin (talk) 12:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Support - Due to the simplification it would bring, both to the process of 'moving' & to the description of the topic itself. Daesin (talk) 12:31, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Merge with eSATA
Is this merge actually underway or being worked on? Looks like it's been in the works for about 3 years now. LiterallyDavidBowie (talk) 03:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
