eSATA is faster than FireWire and firewire is faster than USB.
It is also knows as Firewire but it's not very common on a PC. It's not part of of the default plugs found at the back of a PC, though you can add a card with Firewire ports on it. In general though, USB is by far more common. In terms of performance, Firewire is faster than USB and USB2 ports, but slower than USB3 ports. Almost all PC peripherals use USB connections.
FireWire is a high-speed serial bus. It is commonly used in higher-end digital cameras and external hard drives to allow for data to be transferred between them more quickly. However, FireWire can be used for almost any purpose, including scanners, networking, printers, and musical instruments.
FireWire has a higher transfer rate than USB, making it more suitable for video transfer and connecting external storage. USB is host-based, meaningit must have a host computer to transfer data to / from (with a few exceptions). FireWire devices can transfer data between themselves directly without the need for a computer host. FireWire supports fewer devices connected together (63, vs. 127 for USB).
One can purchase an external USB firewire hard drive in electrical appliances stores such as Radioshack. In addition, Amazon or eBay will have external USB firewire hard drives.
It's very easy. Typically CD duplicators will require only a single USB connection.
Your external USB drive only needs a cable.It's only going to be as fast as the bandwidth of a USB or USB 2.0 connection can be?
