I think people with actual need for eSATA have moved on to PCIe SSDs. USB3 killed everything else at the low end; I remember buying an external HDD with FW800 in the olden days of 2011, then getting a USB3 drive in 2013 which is still going strong and fast (enough).

People that specifically needed their drives to be both fast and external moved to internal drives? I don't understand.


External PCIe (whatever) is kind of the point of Thunderbolt


People use thunderbolt NVMe drives? I didn't know those even existed. Is that meaningfully better than USB with UAS?
