there was something called e-sata at some point, but i have no idea, i've never used it

I had e-sata ports on a drive dock. Came here to see if anyone else noticed the Firewire port, was not disappointed when e-sata entered the mix.

It came out sometime after FireWire 800 but before Thunderbolt 1. IIRC, it can provide data transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gb per second, which at the time, was the fastest connection available before Thunderbolt came out, which could provide data transfers up to 10 GB per second. Although, the technologies are different.

Also, I spy that FireWire 400 port ;)
