Ik ben ook opzoek naar een grote en snelle externe HD. Maar ik zie dat 2TB + esata toch minimaal wel 150euro kost. Bij pchut.nl zit je dan met een Verbatim. Ik ken ze alleen van cd's maar zijn ze ook een beetje goed met externe hd's?
Misschien moet ik dan toch maar voor een 1.5TB of 2TB met usb2.0 gaan. Ik las een stuk op tomshardware
The benchmark results clearly show that if you really want a high-performance external hard drive, then you should absolutely go for eSATA and nothing else. FireWire 800 delivers much higher performance than USB 2.0 or FireWire 400, but it still doesn’t get anywhere near the nice results that eSATA offers. We found our real-time file read and write tests particularly interesting, as these illustrate the performance differences very clearly. It takes roughly a minute to copy 1.5GB of video data with USB 2.0 while the same process required only 15 seconds with eSATA.
If you do not copy gigabytes of data very often, then it is obvious that you do not need to worry about these performance results as much. USB 2.0 should thus serve your needs, since it's so much more convenient and, in fact, available on the front of most PCs. However, others who needs to regularly transfer anywhere from 50GB to 500GB of data will immediately realize that eSATA really is a must-have.
Let’s look at some numbers: copying 300GB of video data via eSATA onto the G-Drive would require roughly 50 minutes. If you were to do the same task with USB 2.0, we’re now talking about much more than three hours--and this is only for 300GB of data.
However, there are significant price differences between convenience-based storage products, such as the SimpleDrive III and the professional G-Drive at 1TB. The first costs roughly $200 while the fast-and-flexible drive is as expensive at $199, which also means that a 2TB multi-interface drive will cost you in the neighborhood of $349. USB 3.0 could change this, as the interface delivers even higher bandwidth than SATA 3 Gb/s. But it will take some months until USB 3.0 storage products will be available at a lower cost than the existing combo drives.

Het eerste gedeelte zeg ik bij mezelf mwa ja zoveel haast heb ik ook niet, maar als ik een keer ergens ben en ik wil flink wat muziek/films/? overpompen wordt het verschil tussen USB 2.0 en esata wel erg groot.
Helaas zie ik nergens aanbiedingen van een 2TB met esata.

Met nog geen 140 euro is het de goedkoopste schijf in deze categorie (2TB, eSATA).
