I have a HP laptop that has ESATA that I use to connect to a RAID disk enclosure. Obviously very fast. The enclosure supports ESATA and USB 2.0.
Now there is USB 3.0 and soon 3.1. I do not see many laptops saying they support ESATA.
I work from home for a large financial services corporation in NYC and there are points in time I cannot afford for my laptop to be down.
So I am considering a backup. The laptop I have now is a HP Pavilion dv6-3210us. I do not need a lot of power as for work I just use CITRIX into a IWIN machine in Brooklyn.
So I either buy a simple $200 or $300 laptop as a backup or a laptop better than my current laptop and use current on as a backup.
I want to always backup my primary laptop and thus am looking at ESATA for possible next laptop.
