In Reply to: Does eSATA for an external HDD reduce damand on USB? posted by mr.bear on June 27, 2011 at 11:40:39:
but whether that reduced demand on USB will result in identifiable sonic change will depend on the resolution of everything in the chain as well as the listener.
IME, it is absolutely a no brainer to go with e-SATA over USB when one has a choice. I currently have a Toshiba laptop with e-sATA port and get at least 4x faster real-life transfer speeds via e-SATA over USB 2.0 to an external hard drive with both e-SATA and USB ports.
The technical max transfer speed of USB2 is never achieved with any of USB2 ports of my multiple laptops and desktops, and USB chips/external USB drives have a funny habit of developing master boot record errors and file system errors and eventually failing at some point. On the other hand, no hiccups with e-SATA, either with external e-SATA drive used for music storage or my another e-SATA drive which holds my OS as well as primary boot drive.
