How Fast is eSATA? Test Transfer

Transferring a large file to a seagate Xtreme external 1TB Hard Drive. Ill do another test soon doing a transfer from the drive to a RAID0 setup, then we wont be limited so much by the write speed of the external drive.

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.

[MtnXfreeride]

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

why my transfer rate only at 30~20 MB per seconds??

[MtnXfreeride]

@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?

Esata ssd > 5400 rpm hdd boggles my mind!

@MtnXfreeride thanks. maybe my enclosure is bad.

What's that song?

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.

@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.
