USB-C to eSATA for REDSTATION 1.8"

[Andrew Gentle]

Hi all,

Since moving to USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 Macs, getting footage from 1.8" REDMAGS has been more difficult. Can anyone confirm that these USB-C to eSATA devices would be compatible with the original REDSTATION 1.8"?

Thanks!

I've used those before, they work, but they didn't last long, had several fail after a few months.
I used a TB2 version of this and it worked great. Would assume this one would be good too.

Thanks Jarek, that looks like a good option. Marketing it as a Thunderbolt 3 converter would also suggest that this one could achieve a faster transfer speed than the StarTech, which only states USB-C.

EDIT: Looks like StarTech also has an implementation of Thunderbolt 3 in a similar device here:

I'm sure they are all the same chipset just rebranded. IOgear makes one too.

I just posted the exact same thing weirdly. Having troubles getting the old station into my new Mac Pro.
