I don't get why you'd want such a slow interface for such a large drive unless you plan on doing a kajillion small backup jobs over the course of time.]]>May 29th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/May 29th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/b)eSATA is limited to 2m cable length, and channel capacity does decrease as you approach that length
c)eSATA does not provide power to peripherals yet, so an extra power adapter would be needed
d)Hard disks are mostly limited by mechanical delays, and a good amount of the time are not even able to saturate a 480 Mbit USB 2.0 connection

Basically, the benefits of eSATA don't outweigh the costs...yet]]>May 29th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/iomega-introduces-1tb-super-ego-external-hard-drive/
you know that no way can a 3.5" drive can be powered off a USB bus right?

p.s. you're dead wrong about the no performace increase. Tom's Hardware showed benchmarks right after eSATA started coming out.

But with a 1TB drive, I would hope that they'd offer a secondary, faster interface for the more technically savvy. My eSata drive at home is worlds faster than my USB 2 external drive as a backup device; both disks are 7200RPM, comparable aerial densities, and so on. I copy huge amounts of data to my external drives, and I'm definitely saturating 480Mbits since the source drive reads at well over 100 MB/sec and USB2 can handle roughly 60 MB/sec.

I want speed!!!
