USB 3.. no esata

No hablo Espanol...
Pope you're going to have to learn Spanish if you want to reach the masses.
I'm still kicking myself for not buying more 1TB for $50 HDDs back when 'egg was giving away the free Rosewill docking stations with them. Sure they're slower being USB2 but they're still a good option for an offline backup set if you aren't in a hurry (have software scheduled to do it unattended).
No Esata but usb 3.0 is plenty fast for most applications. I wouldn't be putting a DB or server share on a USB3 drive but it's fine for single-user media storage and bulk copies for backup.
BTW, USB might be a good way to use a 4TB drive if you have an older BIOS or OS that won't support it.
