There is no "eSATA version" it's one drive that supports both USB and eSATA.

Heh - I'd LOVE a 64Gb one of these ... What they cost? (cringe)

One large or two small limbs

I can't wait until quick and high-capacity flash drives are affordable. I hate waiting for stuff to transfer at USB 2.0 limited speeds.

eSATA + SSD + ECC = OMG

 

[WarEagleAU]

Id love to snag a 64GB or a few of them. I hope they aren't overly expensive.

most of these E-sata flash drives, are leftover SSD's with the stutter bug.
