External drive for backing up NAS -- USB3 vs eSATA

Hi all,

I've been looking into getting my first NAS -- it'll probably be a single-bay, holding 4-6TB -- or if I get a 2-bay, it'll probably start off with a single 4-6TB drive.

I also plan on getting an external 4-6TB drive to back the NAS up to (in fact, I hope to get two of them, so that I can cycle one off-site.)

I assume an external with eSATA would be preferable, but they're hard to find.

I lean toward something like the WD My Book for the external -- but they don't come with eSATA,...
