e-sata has a limitation, it can't power up the drive..., thus, you need to have a USB and e-sata port

USB 3.0 requires new accessory if you on USB 2.0

It doesn't make sense for a 2.5" to have e-sata. That's why you see little 2.5" come with it.
2.5" main function is portability and ease to use.
With e-sata, you either need adapter to power up the hdd, or need to use USB as power supply source. Either one means less portability and troublesome already.

For 3.5" yes, e-sata is useful.

oh, i didn't know that e-sata couldn't power up the device. thanks for the info anyway
and about usb 3.0, does our conventional USB ports and windows 7 supports it?
according to here, they said it will work fine
