⚡ Overview
eSATA is a high-speed external data interface commonly used for external hard drives and storage devices. It supports hot-swapping for ease of use, but frequent plugging and unplugging exposes the interface to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Without proper protection, ESD can lead to device malfunction, data loss, or shortened product lifespan.
eSATA's theoretical transfer rate can reach 3 Gbps, but actual rates are typically between 1.5 Gbps and 3 Gbps, depending on the limitations of the hard drive and motherboard—nevertheless, its transfer rate is still significantly higher than USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394. High-speed performance requires extra attention to signal integrity, mechanical strength, electromagnetic interference immunity, and cable flexibility.
