I think people with actual need for eSATA have moved on to PCIe SSDs. USB3 killed everything else at the low end; I remember buying an external HDD with FW800 in the olden days of 2011, then getting a USB3 drive in 2013 which is still going strong and fast (enough).

- rangibaby 9y agoExternal PCIe (whatever) is kind of the point of Thunderbolt
- Dylan16807 9y agoPeople use thunderbolt NVMe drives? I didn't know those even existed. Is that meaningfully better than USB with UAS?
