Not really that cheap. $34 for eSATA? Bottom line is the thing still only costs a couple bucks to make, and 80%+ profit margins are entirely out of line for this type of product, especially when it offers nothing new or exciting to begin with.

E-sata is fairly rare on 2.5" enclosures, due to the lack of power over e-sata in most PC's

My $18 acomdata enclosure has esata, powered by USB.
It's almost 2010 and Power Over eSATA is still not out. We probably should forget about it for now.
