An eSATA connection is essentially the same as connecting the drive straight to the motherboard.

So, the drive data transfer rate would be the same as an internal SATA drive, versus the "turd-like" transfer rate of a USB drive.

If you're doing backups, eSATA would be the way to go as it would take much, much less time to transfer the data.

You'd basically just need one of these, unless your board has an eSATA build into the I/O panel.
