    The TweakTown gang "go serial" in their latest review:

    "Serial ATA drives are great. They are quick, use thin cables and don't break the bank account in the process. Though what happens if you want to run drives external to your case? You turn to Highpoint with their e.SATA Kit V.2.0, of course!"

    Wait... That kit they're reviewing is very cool and all, but the external sata drive enclosure has standard ATA interfaces for the hdd and not sata to take advantage of the speed. My question is what's the advantage of this kit which includes a sata card, cables and external enclosure (for pata hdd's) verses say a usb 2.0 or firewire external hdd case?

    Okay, I didn't see that it was RAID... That's kind of cool, but still, I'm not sure if it's worth the money IMO...
