SATA=Serial ATA (PATA is parallel).
The new version of SATA has been ratified at 6 gigabits/second (gbs)as
well; no reason to wait for USB3. The new SAS (serial SCSI) is also 6
gbs. How is USB faster?
It's not faster. In real-time, USB gives less than half the reported speeds.
Can you hot swap eSATA drives? Or do you need to use additional
software? Special enclosures? Windows only?
