eSata is great when it is on the MB or PCI bus, etc.
Laptops only have the PCMCIA bus (now called Card-Bus I think).
That bus is not as fast as eSata, so you won't see real eSata speeds if you get a laptop eSata add-on card.
Ah... that's a pity. What about new laptops, do they come with a real eSATA port, perhaps?
If you buy nice enough ones. I think there was one with 2 eSATA ports a couple years ago, but it cost $5K. (Or maybe it only had one eSATA port. I actually had a client that bought one so they could present some complex findings in court with the data sitting external to the laptop. They broke the screen the first time they used it!)
