The splitter simply splits the combo port. You can use both the eSATA and the USB ports at the same time provided the host computer allows them to function simultaneously.
Whenever it is connected to a USB port, it should appear as it turns to the port
As far as I know, this adapter will not affect the speed of reading and writing. In this case, the StarTech Power eSATA is simply an interface device, the R/W speeds of connected devices will be determined by their own capacities.
Since my daughter card is not working, I have been using the adapter as a USB port in order to use my mouse, flash drive, external hard drive, etc. I have been able to delay the purchase of a new computer by using it this way.

I tried to get two TVs connected to one input at the store, but they wanted me to spend a lot on equipment in order to do that. This device fulfilled my goal exactly You can't go wrong with this and I will buy another one for patio season when I can sit outside and watch TV.
There may have been a price difference between this gadget and the others. My problem was not solved since it didn't work as advertised because an external USB hard drive doesn't work as advertised with a TiVo Roamio DVR which requires an eSATA drive.

In my case, I connected my account. I was unable to get this to work. My USB drive was connected to my eSATA port, but it was unable to transfer power to it.
I would like to thank you for your contribution.
My brother's laptop suddenly stopped working the USB ports, and the only way he could connect to USB devices was with this adapter, via the eSATA port. It works great for the purpose for which I bought it. *After using the product for a few weeks, the plastic started to chip.
A Direct TV employee told me to buy this so I could download some programming I had on an external hard drive. The technician was wrong, though. I tried this on Direct TV DVR, but it did not work. As such, it was a waste of money. I'm sure the product works well for what it's intended for, but not for Direct TV DVRs.
I needed it to do what I needed it to do, and it worked perfectly for me.
