IDE and SATA interfaces.That might imply an external ESATA interface....which is kind of new....saw something this morning ....
Not saying these guys are doing it...but they could....
The Akasa integral ESATA can be used with USB 2.0 and as the name mentions - ESATA. The great advantage of ESATA is performance, as you can expect the same speed as a hard drive installed inside your computer. The ESATA cable uses a slightly different connector than the kind used on modern mainboards. While some manufacturers offer ESATA connectors on the back of some boards, you can always buy a PCI backplane which converts the internal SATA connectors to the external kind, giving you the ESATA feature. The Akasa integral can be used with an IDE or SATA drive when connected via USB. ESATA connectivity is only given for SATA drives. I connected an IDE drive, flipped the switch in the back of the case and connected the SATA cable, but the drive never spun up as usual once the power was turned on. The enclosure will not get damaged if you forget to flip the switch or use an IDE drive with SATA.
