If your WD drive is ESata and USB, then you already know ESata is faster. Your info is too vague. What computer (desktop, laptop). Is an ESata port available?
If destop and no port, you need to be able to add an ESata rail adapter. It would connect to a Sata port on the motherboard, and exit as an expansion rail.
Is getting an ESATA cable adapter for my Western Digital portable hard drive worth it? If it is, does anyone have any recommendations for a universal ESATA adapter?
Thank you in advance.
