My question would be how can a SATA 3 1 TB drive be faster through a USB 3
connection than through a SATA 2 direct motherboard connection. Seems like
going through the USB 3 connection would add additional overhead and slow
the drive down somewhat. eSATA isn't any faster than SATA from what I've
read because they are essentially the same thing.

Is that right? I have a 1 TB drive in a usb3.0 enclosure running off my
mobo. Using CrystalDiskMark, I find that the read/write performance is
faster to a usb 3.0 drive than to an internal drive on a SATA port. In
some cases almost a factor of 2, but not generally.
Is that right?
How does esata compare? I currently don't have an esata enclosure
hooked up so I can't test.
