Jim,

  I thought this to be the case because it makes sense that it's a network
node.

USB uses a totally different, native and much more efficient driver stack,
and if capable of USB 3 can be pretty close to native eSATA speeds.

  This is good enough for me. It's also much simpler to maintain. Thanks
very much for clarifying,

Best regards,

Rich
