    Does anyone know of a converter from e-sata to FW. I have an external e-sata drive that I want to connect to desktop systems that don’t have an e-sata card.

    There is no conversion device that I know of, and I’m not sure if anyone would bother to make one.

    Your best bet is to either put an ESata card in the computer, or take the hard drive out of that ESATA only enclosure and put it in an enclosure with firewire.

    Here’s a good quality, relatively low cost model with both Esata and Firewire:

    Well I have seen this https://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-spyder/ but I cannot find a place online to buy one.

    Perhaps it is not out yet.
