WD My Book 4 TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Backup

Hello and Good Day all,

I am about purchase a

WD My Book 4 TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Backup

What I need to know for sure before purchasing it is this:  Does it have an eSATA port on the back?  I can not seem to find a clear and upclose enough picture to be able to tell for sure.  I am going to be using it as an Expander for my Direct TV DVR Genie HR-44-500.  The DVR has eSATA and USB, but I was told by Direct TV that it is better to use the eSATA port as it will connect easier and automatically that way.  Does anyone know the answer to this or perhaps know of link that shows the image of the rear panel clearly for this product?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide on this,

I had never bought that product before but according to this page, the “Important interface information” said “This drive requires a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connection”. So it’s probably USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 interface only.
