If you're using a laptop, your processor choices are pretty limited. I suppose a macbook pro would be ideal- or the pc equivalent spec-wise if budget is limited.

I'm not familar with esata and I just did some googling,
Do I need to get an esata card like an additional firewire or usb card to support esata?

I just checked my external drive enclosure it has a esata port

thanks
Raymond

I'm guessing i need something like this for esata if my current computer doesn't have this

Wait until those new Macbook Pros come out soon. They might be worth looking into. I've got the 17" 3.06Ghz Macbook Pro, and the thing just flies through 5DmkII files, not to mention the amazing screen!

Yes, you need to get an eSATA card. I think it's worth it, as I have a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB HD in a WiebeTech drive enclosure, it can transfer about 3GB/minute. The only bad thing about eSATA for mobile use is the lack of bus power.
