Both are industry standard, drives and internal cables use the SATA connector while PCI cards and external devices use the eSATA connector.

I really appreciate this and not only will it be an optimal backup solution but it also seems like a fun DIY. I can't wait! Only, I have an eSATA xpress card for my MacBook Pro. Is the connector on the end of the eSATA cable the only real difference from SATA? Of course it's an intentional difference, but is it any different under the hood or is this just another example of the industry developing "proprietary" designs to force upgrade? Dude… great post!
