E-SATA/USB 2.0 Combo 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. Note that this port can also
be used as a USB 2.0 port.
