esata - external hdds and the like (basicly)
hdmi - tv out/in combined with audio in the same line.

I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

HDMI is also the high definition port du jour. You could put a blu-ray player on that thing and export it via HDMI to an HDTV.

OK so the Esata port could be handy for a speedier backup but I just don't see myself using the HDMI for anything.

Thanks
