External SATA, or eSATA, is an interface for connecting external mass storage devices such as hard drives. It allows the fast data transfer speeds of SATA (Serial ATA) to be utilized with external devices. USB is a universal interface supporting various types of devices including storage but isn't specifically designed for high-speed external storage like eSATA. HDMI and VGA are video interfaces used for display devices and not for storage connections.
