“May?” :)
That’s about like saying Honda Civics can go 0-60 in 2.8 seconds…when dropped
off a cliff nose down so you get the benefit of the car’s well-designed
aerodynamics.

I’ve had a lot of problems with eSATA, mainly in the delicacy of the cabling
and connectors. It’s almost as bad a standard as USB.
Proper Thunderbolt is far more robust and reliable, but you do pay for that.
…which is why USB sucks. We expect to pay $20 for an 8-port hub, then gripe
when half the ports die when the cat walks by due to the static EM field it
emits.
I once went looking for reliable $100 USB hubs, but I couldn’t find anything
outside the industrial sphere. There’s the tragedy of USB: I can’t pay more to
get better quality even if I wanted to, because the market punishes those that
try. They’d get 1-star reviews on Amazon because they’re too expensive!
