eSATA is the fastest of the three.
Which is faster an eSATA-600 port or a firewire 800 port?
eSATA-600 at 6.0 Gbps while FireWire runs at 1.2 Gbps.
Why Order the following ports according to speed placing the fastest port first fire wire esata usb?
esata-fire wire-usb
Which is faster interface to the system an external serial ATA hard drive or an external FireWire hard drive?
50-85 Mbps for eSATA vs 25 - 45 Mbps firewire 400 not sure what 800 goes to but eSATA will still be faster it's just like an internal drive. eSATA is up to 6 times faster than external firewire according to the fabulous Guide to managing and maintaining your PC by Jean Andrews
Which is faster USB 3.0 or eSATA 600?
eSATA is up to six times faster than USB or FireWire
Which is faster an eSATA port or a FireWire 800 port?
Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b) has a maximum speed of 800Mbps (Megabits per second). eSATA has a maximum speed of 3.0 Gbps (gigabit per second). So eSATA is faster. In very few scenarios [like transfering a bunch of small files], FireWire will come close, but in most scenarios eSATA will spank it hard. eSATA runs at the same speed as an internal hard drive connection, because it's the exact same thing. It just doesn't have the little L notch. Also keep in mind, some USB and FireWire speed will be lost while being converted from SATA to a signal that they can work with. The signal has to be processed for FireWire and USB to be able to use it. But FireWire 800 is faster than USB 2.0. And it's better for capturing video from cameras. USB 2.0 does a big burst then it slows down, while FireWire maintains a more constant throughput. I don't know of any video cameras that use eSATA. eSATA has been the best thing for external hard drives, until they came out with USB 3.0. It seems to be making eSATA obsolete. I still use eSATA because it's what I have, and it's about 3 times faster than USB 2.0. Also USB 3.0 is good for everything but, e SATA is still best for external hard drives, while FireWire is considered best for video.
What has a faster interface to the system an external serial ata or an external firewire hard drive?
External serial ATA known as eSATA is up to six times faster than USB or Firewire.
What is faster than eSATA or Firewire?

Does the MacBook Pro still support eSATA?
MacBook Pro does not come with eSATA support. If you have MacBook Pro with ExpressCard support, you can get adapter which would allow you to use eSATA. Note: Latest MacBook Pro laptops do not come even with ExpressCard support. Firewire is the fastest available option right now (2010).
Which has a faster interface to the system an external serial ATA hard drive or an external FireWire hard drive?
External serial ATA (eSATA) hard drives is up to six times faster than USB or FireWire.
What is a external HD for a computer?
An External HD is a hard drive that is in a separate enclosure other than your PC that connects via a wire. Most commonly USB, ESATA or firewire.
