I'll probably be buying a new drive or two soon and wanted to get your
opinion about which type of drive - SATA, eSATA or USB - you think will
still be in use on both existing and new systems over the next five
years or so.

Thanks,

John


I think they will both be in use over the next five years or so. Firewire was rumored to be replacing USB, but that was many years ago, and firewire seems to be consigned to a niche market now. I think your best bet is ATA. -Dave
