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

I've got the 17" 3.06Ghz Macbook Pro, and the thing just flies through 5DmkII files, not to mention the amazing screen!

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.
