Crying shame you can't find an esata enclosure with a built in fan anymore!

Anyone know if there is a max TB size for connecting to the Hopper?

Doesn't appear the linked enclosure has esata. Here is one:

along with a seagate 10TB barracuda pro it's been working flawless. i am curious as to how many boxes still have the esata port since it seemed they were phased out
