![]() If it's a stable desktop and you don't have curious small kids around, this kind of eSATA docks work nicely. Looking around, I can't really find a definite answer as to which comes out on top speed-wise, in fact one article I read concluded that eSATA wins on reads, while USB 3.0 wins on writes, by about the same amount each way (or vice-versa).Īs for my DAW, well I've been using Pro Tools (so I know eSATA isn't officially supported, although I've heard people use it just fine) but I'm thinking about ditching PT for Sonar X1, which I've been trialing (and I love it). I would have the Komplete Ultimate library on this drive though. I never record more than one track of audio at once, and to be honest my tunes never really exceed five or six tracks of audio. Begging the question: which would suit me best? A little background: However, I'd rather not have to do that, if an eSATA drive would do just as well. My Dell Studio XPS tower doesn't have USB 3.0 ports, but I could always throw a PCI Express interface in there for $30 or so. There are some great eSATA connectable drives around, like the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad Interface, but there are also some nice USB 3.0 drives around as well. Meaning I'm in the market for a new external drive. I have a feeling it wasn't the best drive for audio production anyway So, my darn 2TB Seagate POS external drive (5400 or 7200rpm? Who knows!) has finally crapped out on me.
