There are no USB disk drives, they are all SATA inside
so external SATA or eSATA to SATA every one work at it's best speed. One 
occasionally can ship just SATA HD.
There are also craddles to put new disk into and devfsadm to make it 
available.

Also if zfs send between snapshots is too big, stream can be put into an 
file and sent with rsync,
until zfs send continuing transfer lands in OpenZFS. (Delphix works on 
it I think)
