It would be cool if it can support eSATA. That way we can start replacing usb devices with eSATA.

These modules aren't exactly new. They've been available in the Mini-ITX market for a couple years now:

Of course more producers means prices might come down.

The obstacle with an eSATA version is that the eSATA spec in its current form does not supply power to the connected device, so you would need to connect it to a power source, probably a USB plug anyway.

In the time it would take eSATA to be revised to supply power, USB 3 will be out, which will provide over 400MB/s throughput (far outpacing any SSDs available currently, as well as SATA2 speeds).
