PS: A few years ago I noticed an interesting behaviour in Linux. When rsyncing hundreds of GB from the eSata to the USB mounted drive I found the file system to become unreliable and unmountable. A workaround that I now follow is to add an "--bwlimit=15000" in the rsync command, which ensures that the eSata doesn't get too far ahead of the USB drive. May be completely unnecessary now..
That's because USB gets disconnected and reconnected. So, /dev/sdc becomes /dev/sdd in the middle of copying. -- William
