"external SATA". Basically extends a cable from one of your onboard SATA connectors to an external rear-panel connector that looks similar to a USB port. External drives that support eSATA can then be plugged into that, giving you full SATA speeds. The ports are more robust than the flimsy plastic connectors on the mobo and drives, but other than that there's nothing special about it.
And just to add to that,
Cman333: by using eSATA, you will still need a power source, which doesn't help your needs.
