Hi,
Is there any portable hdd of Seagate and Western Digital which comes with a disc case and have esata port on it? Thanks.

WD with eSATA only:

WD with USB / Ieee 1394a (aka Firewire 400) / eSATA

On that particular on-line retailer I could not find Seagate externals with eSATA. But there are lots of other manufacturers with eSATA externals, too.

There are ones with esata in 3.5 inch drives:

I guess no Seagate and WD drive exists with esata in 2.5" size then..

I could not find any 2½" portables from Seagate or WD on their websites with eSATA interfaces. You MIGHT find one with USB3 for speed comparable to eSATA, IF your portable computer has a USB3 port. But does it have an eSATA port? I'm wondering why you want a portable HDD with eSATA interface in the 2½" size.

Because I should copy 100k files back and forth.

That sounds like a good reason.
