eSATA Facts:

• eSATA is an external interface technology that grew from the internal SATA I interface.
• The GT 050Q's eSATA port supports speeds up to 1.5Gb/sec (150 MB/sec), much faster than FireWire 400 or FireWire 800.
• Shielded eSATA cables up to 2 meters in length are available.
• eSATA cables are different than SATA I cables, they are shielded and cannot be used with internal SATA I connectors.
• eSATA uses a "point-to-point" connection, therefore each eSATA drive needs to be connected to its own eSATA port.
• Most computers do not have built-in eSATA, so you'll need a PCI card to connect your drive with eSATA.
• PCI cards are available with 2 or more ports to accommodate your drives.
