esata vs. USB...fight!

<< < (4/4)

4wd:
I've had multiple motherboards with eSATA, I've had external eSATA enclosures - some that worked with th eSATA ports and some that didn't.

It was a crap-shoot whether the enclosure I bought would deign to work with the eSATA port on the motherboard.

USB3, for me, has proven to be both fast and reliable - the only time I now use the eSATA port is to plug a bare drive into it, (eSATA->SATA cable), that always works because it's not relying on some interface chip in the enclosure.
