    eSATA is much faster than USB 2.0 but you pay for it...Should I settle for a 1TB USB 2.0 for about $100?

    For backing up files?

    I recently got an 80GB external hard drive to back up crucial files for me and its USB, its plenty fast for me. Getting an eSATA may be unnecessary unless you absolutely need it.

    Mines actually portable, I don't have to plug it into the wall for power
