how do you install esata drive? I plugged the drive into 3 different computers and none can detect the drive, not even in bios. can you give me some advice? thanks.
Seems like about the right speed. I have (2) 3.5" Barracuda drives mounted in voyager Q docks and I get about 73MB/s when I'm duplicating one drive to the next.
@SkulLzSouL it can only transfer as fast as the device plugged into it, or as fast as the hard drive on the computer itself can read. maybe it was nultitasking in the background?
@BIGC3002 nope, it is 3 gigabits not gigabytes, when you talk about transfer speeds it is in bits, and if you are talking about storage it is bytes. 3 gigabits is about 380 megabytes per second, which no desktop hard drive can hit yet unless you get a really nice solid state drive.
Mate what is your format type? ntfs exfat ? and are you using that disk on ahci? or just ide? cos this is really fast. i ve got samsung 1.5t with esata, howeve,r mine is around 48 mb/s.

@nikhilr51 I heard the 1.5TB was slower because of the plates they use? But anyway, on my desktop I have a RAID0 setup so bascially, its running as fast as it can for reading from my main drive to do the transfer, maybe your windows hard drive is running too slow for it?
@MtnXfreeride I actually read online that the 1.5tb is faster than the 1tb but the difference is not significant. I'm guessing its because im on a laptop with a 5400rpm drive while the xtreme has a 7200. Wonder if running programs off my external is faster!!? mmm should test that some time.
Copying a pirated movie on youtube.....smart move.

@doct0rthrill mine was plug and play, it only took about 10 seconds for windows to find the driver (which was a generic driver).

@MtnXfreeride thanks. maybe my enclosure is bad.

Bro, Good work. I support you.
eSATAp (eSATA + USB) is more economical and simpler than USB 3. Why?
1) Its already on 50% of the machine.
2) 99% of machine have SATA. Upgrading on old machine simply require a zero driver USD 12 Delock bracket.
3) Its compatible with USB 2.0 and can HotSwap! too.
4) eSATA is found in NAS (need port multiplier feature)
5) NCIX & Crunchgear prove the simpler economical eSATAp is actually as fast if not faster than USB 3.0
6) Self-powered

@TheWizardsFTI that is not fast it took that long for 21 gb on my freeagent go flex usb 3.0 esata hardrive and it was on a crappy laptop.

Wouldn't 3Gb equal 3000 Megabytes?

@ufukengin ntfc, its on whatever is default,I thought was IDE and the only other choice was RAID.

weird, i have the same drive (the 1.5tb version) and my esata speeds are slower, closer to 40-50mb/s average. Whats wrong?
