  • This guy knows his product i like that not many directors do

  • who uses esata? what is esata anyways? (sarcasm)

  • before u move on to usb 3 don't you think you should sort out you other drives there the most unreliable waste of money shit drives on the market today Ur reputation  is shit your drives have let me down badly and that includes you new 1tb 7200 12 i lost 800gbs of data on that new drive

    Next time you feel like playing smart, make it short.

  • @mathias921 USB 2.0 has 4 pins, 2 of which is just 5 volt positive and negative, and the other 2 carries data. USB 3.0 has 9 pins, 7 of which is data, so that is 3.5 times the speed right there. The remaining speed increase is by improvements in the protocol. I have a feeling that USB 3.0 connectors are going to be fragile because of the additional pins though.

  • eSATAp (eSATA/USB) is more economical & easier.

    1) 50% of the notebooks out there have eSATAp

    2) SATA is in all machine. Upgrading is just a ZERO driver USD 12 delock bracket. 99.9% compatibility as it makes use of onboard SATA.

    3). NCIX, Crunchgear have proven that the more economical eSATAp is as fast if not faster than USB 3.0

    4) eSATA is found in many NAS. (Note: you need port multiplier feature)

    5) eSATAp is ALSO USB 2.0.

    6) eSATAp can hotswap!. Can function as IDE mode.
