External Serial ATA (eSATA)
Serial ATA a replacement for 40 way IDE cable, the SATA connector and cable are smaller (which improves air circulation), the current data transfer rate is ATA-150 (1.5Gbps). External SATA cables are the same as internal but can be used on SATA back plates.
eSATA (external SATA) is a way to connect devices externally, this method is a different technology to External SATA. SATA cables have an L shape data cable while eSATA do not and therefore not compatible.
There are two types of SATA cables, SATA and eSATA. Each type has either a male or female connector, the cables can also be rated at either 1.5Gbps(SATA I) or 3.0Gbps(SATA II). The confusion starts when SATA cables are used externally, these are not eSATA cables even though they can be used externally on back plates.
