eSATA/USB port
eSATA stands for "external Serial ATA" and is used for connecting external hard disks.
Unlike common USB standards, the transmission speed of an eSATA connection is higher
than that of external USB hard disks.
This connection is a "combo slot", to which both USB and S-ATA devices can be connected.
Remove S-ATA devices
Before removing an S-ATA hard disk from your notebook, click on the icon "Safely
remove hardware" in the task bar and then on the hard disk to be removed.
