eSATA HDDs (select models only)
External SATA, or eSATA, is an external interface that allows a SATA drive to achieve data transfer
speeds up to 6 times that of a SATA drive using a standard USB 2.0 interface. The following illustration
shows a supported notebook PC with a primary HDD (1) and an eSATA drive (2) connected to the
eSATA port (select models only) to allow RAID IRRT. Regarding the capacity of the eSATA drive, the
same recommendations apply as stated for secondary drives in the notebook PC Upgrade Bay.
