Well this has become more about stopping the spread of misinformation. Some on the list might want to know that ESATA is much faster then FW800 because they could be looking to build something that it would matter. Others, perhaps most don't care because they don't have either one. These aren't superfast rates, these are the standard rates of this tech, none of it is bleeding edge, just what is currently out there. I use ESATA on my external drive specifically because I wanted to wait the least amount of time when moving large files to the drive, like ripped dvds.
