- There is a general consensus that eSATA should be more efficient.
The "e" in eSATA means external. eSATA is nothing but SATA plus two bonuses: 1-HD cabling designed for the repeated plug/unplug cycles expected of external devices 2-hardware support necessary for hot-plugging to be possible IOW, speed from eSATA, like that from SATA, is all in the particular implementation from the driver, firmware, chip and bus combination. Any speed differential between SATA and eSATA on any given system is more likely because the eSATA controller and SATA controller are (commonly) separate chips from different manufacturers than anything else, assuming identical HDs on both. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
