Re: [t13] What's the difference of eSATA Hard drive and normal SATA-II hard drive?
From the SATA 2.5 specification: A Serial ATA device enclosure with a corresponding external connector. A buffer IC is required to interface to a Gen1i/Gen2i Serial ATA device unless the Serial ATA device is Gen1m/Gen2m compliant and designed for direct external connection. In other words, normal SATA hard drives are electrically i specification rather than m specification and are not necessarily designed to handler the higher ESD requirements for external connections.

In reviewing the ATA/ATAPI-7 V3, R4, Figure 18, I see that the vertical location of the SATA connector is listed as 3.5 mm from the bottom of the drive. However, I am unsure where on the connector the top measurement is made. Is it the top of the connector, the top of the L on which the pins are mounted, the location of the pins, or ??? What part of the connector is 3.5 mm from the bottom of the drive? Any help in clarifying this would be appreciated. Thank you, Hugh Curley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
