eSATA 3G interface

Please explain the eSATA 3G interface specification.  Does this means 3.0Gbps or third generation.

The eSATA interface is 3Gbps, so second generation.

Due to CPU limitations, the real-world write speed when saving DNG will be about 50-60 megabytes per second to a SATA SSD.

If you get an eSATAp cable, you can power the drive with just one cable

You can find an example of this cable here. We also sell these on our web store.
