New Mac Pro: What are You using to connect your eSATA external drives to you nMacPro?

Hi,

I have some eSATA external HDs that I would like to use with my 2013 New Mac Pro.

I was just wondering what other have been using to connect their nMPs to eSATA devices and how well it has worked. I have seen a USB3 to eSATA cable from NewEgg.... which seems like a good idea ... if it will work.

Thanks!

Mac Pro, 2013 MacPro quad ccore 3.7GHz, 16GB

LaCie TB HUB has two TB ports which is good for daisy chain. Has two esata ports also. I connect a Voyager bought from OWC to one sata port and that's where my bare 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives reside when I need them. The other sta port has a Pioneer 207 blu ray drive. When I sleep my 2013 Mac Pro I turn off the power to the Voyager and the Pioneer. All work flawlessly.
