Hi guys, I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm being pulled back in out of necessity for my job... so I have a couple questions!
eSATA, as I understand it, is basically the same as SATA except for a few modifications. Primarily:
-Cable length
-Shielding
-Connection insert-length
My questions are:
--With these differences, can your average SATA drive be used, for example, in an eSATA dock? (being that eSATA is referring to the connections of the dock and not the drive, right?)
--If I were to get an eSATA addon card for my desktop, would the internal cabling connect to the SATA connections on my mobo?
--Is there anything else important I should know?
Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate the help!
