E-sata works too (if you don't have a port, you could always wire something out, lol).
Just that external HDDs cost more, and have a higher likelihood of breaking if you tend to knock stuff off tables.
Also, different from RAID as it doesn't provide redundancy.

Yeah, my lappy has eSATA, actually.. but it also has panels on its back to allow easy upgrading... and two 500GB drives seems like a tasty upgrade.
