Thread: difference between firewire, USB and esata?

HI all, I want to get an external drive, specially to use as a backup of my accessible 200gig drive. I want a complete image, so if my hard drive fails, or the computer gets stolen, after that I can restart easily, with the same layout, programs, etc.

what is the difference between firewire, USB and esata?

In fact, speed does not mean a lot, as I will only use it once each six months or so, and I can always leave the computer on overnight,

Can anybody tell me from this CPU z output if I can use firewire, or esata?

ESATA a fast connection (the "SATA-2), if they are not mistaken, it has a transfer rate of 3 BG / her much more than FATER USB, FireWire, and I would be with this man, if I had a choice, just make sure U have an outlet for her on the back of Ur boards. nowadays usually the same price if anything I would like to buy an internal HD, as well as to obtain a separate ESATA compatible shell (I Got 2 myself), which acceptor ESATA to SATA drives, but I can use USB-Charles, if the IDE drive type drive, they usually cost 10 fight for 20 more, but they are worth it, if they are not mistaken Thermal take had some good in them Newberg

Hello Friends...

USB hard drives are more common and less expensive than FireWire or even FireWire/USB combo drives.

Apart from the more common Universal Serial Bus (USB) and FireWire 400, another external interface used in data transfer is eSATA. eSATA simply means External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment.


Thanks
