eSATA Piggybacks on a USB SSD Stick

It would seem eSATA has found a gap hole in the flash drive market traditionally dominated by USB. This 32GB SSD - unlike USB-based Flash ExpressCard - is a unique combination of eSATA and USB that truly distinguishes from the rest by offering both performance and universal compatibility. The dual-intefarced drive can actually draw power from an eSATA port, making it works like a USB flash drive. Though, we don't recall eSATA having the capability to supply power yet unless AO-Lab is talking about using Power Over eSATA in which case has enough juice to run a 2.5" HDD enclosure. The company also claims the its eSATA SSD tops at 75MB/s and 25MB/s for read and write speed respectively. USB isn't too shabby with performance rated at 24MB/s read and 16MB/s write.
