Product Description
One of the key advantages that eSATA offers over USB and FireWire is speed. While the other two have overhead from converting the signal between the external interface and the internal IDE based drives, SATA does not have this problem. Because SATA is the standard interface used on many new hard drives, a simple converter between the internal and external connectors is required in the housing. This means that the external device should run at the same speed as an Internal SATA drive.So, here are the speeds for the various interfaces: * USB 1.1 15 Mbps * FireWire (1394a) 400 Mbps * USB 2.0 480 Mbps * FireWire 800 (1394b) 800 Mpbs * SATA 1.5 1.5 Gbps * SATA 3.0 3.0 Gbps Based on these theoretical numbers, SATA is over twice the speed of the fastest provided by Firewire and four times faster than the best USB can provide. If the eSATA devices is using the faster 3Gbps interface, there is even greater speed potential.
