Motherboards with ESATA
prices on 3 modelseSATA
— a type of SATA interface that is used exclusively for connecting external drives. The practical data transfer rate for this connection is about 2.4 Gbps (300 Mbps), half the maximum speed of USB 3.1 gen1, but in fact these interfaces are often almost the same in terms of actual throughput. Also, eSATA is convenient in that it allows you to connect a drive without occupying USB ports that can be useful for other peripherals. On the other hand, there are relatively few drives for this connector.clear | Save List |
