"External drive" does not mean just "USB drive". It also includes
external SATA and eSATA drives - both seen by their controllers as
simply SATA drives. The only difference between SATA and eSATA
is in the tolerated signal levels which are to accomodate the 2m length
of cable allowed for eSATA, and the ground connection at the socket
for the cable shielding. "External SATA" is just a SATA connector on
the back panel of a PC. Although I have never booted using an eSATA
port, Dell's tech reps assure me that they can be used to boot Windows
because the motherboard really don't differentiate between internal SATA
and external SATA/eSATA.
