e-SATA Port
E-SATA (External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is an external version of SATA, which
connects your computer to the hard drive. SATA is an interface that is much faster than typical IDE
interfaces (E-SATA is six times faster than USB 2.0). E-SATA is ideal for backing up large files on an
external hard drive. See "E-SATA Port" on page 83.
USB 2.0 Ports
The USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect Universal Serial Bus devices. USB 2.0 transfers data at up to 480
Mbps and is backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices, which transfer data at up to 12 Mbps. See
"Universal Serial Bus Ports" on page 81.
