Product DescriptionChoosing the right external disk drive is not easy, especially if you don't exactly know what you're looking for. There are so many products that look alike, and price seems to be the only obvious differentiator. Yet differences can be found when it comes to reliability and build quality. We urge people with important or expensive data to consider spending a little extra on a higher quality passive unit. Passive drives offer several advantages over fan cooled models - they are completely sealed so will never collect internal dust or be damaged from a liquid spill. They are also SILENT in operation and used in sound recording studio's for this reason. Fans can become louder over time and will eventually need to be cleaned or replaced. eSata allows your computer direct access to the Sata disk drive without any bottleneck (caused by usb/firewire "Bridging" chips.) The disk drive will perform exactly the same as a Sata disk installed inside your PC case (almost 3 times the speed of USB2.) The eSata cable supplied with this product meets the standard eSata specification by using a heavy duty connector designed for external use. It's similar to the regular SATA connector, but with reinforcements in both the male and female sides. It's harder to unplug and can withstand a cable being yanked or wiggled. Please make sure that you have a standard eSata port on your computer.
