Except there is no USB involved, the SoC literally has real SATA... it's not a USB to SATA interface. The OMAP5 doesn't have a host USB 3.0 port, How the Pyra is implementing SATA is that it's using the 4 extra pins in a USB 3.0 port and carrying the true SATA power and data pines out. This Adapter is just a breakout board essentially.Basically, what this adapter is gonna do, is the same as every 2.5 inch HDD case already do...
The OMAP5 doesn't have a host USB 3.0 port,
From the Pyra frontpage:
"It features one USB 3.0 OTG port"
So can I use the USB OTG port to connect my 2.5 inch hdd case or not ?
OTG is not a HOST port.
USB 3.0 has never remotely lived up to those speeds.USB 3.0 - up to 5Gbits
SATA 3 - up to 6Gbits
To me it's not wasted development as it's pretty much a passive adapter, it didn't require much design.So Yeah... Sadly for me this SATA adapter was waste of development time.
That's not the way I understand it, I'm afraid, at least if USB3 OTG ports are anything like the USB2 OTG port on my Pandora. You'll need an adaptor to plug anything into a OTG port - without an adaptor the OTG port acts as a port that lets you plug the Pyra into other devices. Most OTG host adaptors I've seen give you a full sized A-type socket, so you'd need a cable with a male type-A plug on it, like you probably already have for other purposes, as well as the host adaptor cable.Trashy,
No adapters are needed dude,
Only a cable with male micro USB 3.0 is needed and the 2.5 inch HDD enclosure will work fine, on 3.0 speeds with the 3.0 OTG Port of the Pyra.
Well unfortunately the OMAP 5432 supports SATA 2 only, not SATA 3,
Which is even more sad.
This makes the file transfer through the 3.0 OTG port the fastest option at least on paper.
SATA2 - up to 3Gb/s
USB 3.0 - up to 5Gb/s
It will be nice if someone with EVM test the "real life" speeds.

Note that the USB protocol has a lot of overhead and brings in even more overhead and latency due to the simple fact that a controller has to do a protocol conversion, now add in the whole lot of issues that may cause USB 3.x to not even reach its max speed. I've had some bad experience with larger copy operations over USB as well, there are a lot of crappy controllers out there. Additionally, I'm not sure how it'll work out in this case, but with the Pandora the USB host controller is a mayor power drain, making sure that it is deactivated by default was one of the first things I've done because it pretty much doubled its runtime.Well unfortunately the OMAP 5432 supports SATA 2 only, not SATA 3,
