I used my internal Raptor drive (my temporary/swap/ PS scratch file drive) for this test as its the fastest drive I have. Okay, the read/write (above) refer to the external Lacie drive. Test 2 - USB2 Write 2m 57sec, Read 1m 51sec Test 2 - eSATA Write 1m 00sec, Read 1m 20sec Test 1 - USB2 Write 3m 10sec, Read 3m 39sec Test 1 - eSATA Write 1m 32sec, Read 1m 31sec Test 2: Copying 811 smaller files in 2 directories, totalling 4.07GB between the Lacie Drive and my internal Raptor comparing eSATA with USB both reading and writing to the Lacie. Test 1: Copying a single 5.7GB avi file between the Lacie and my internal Raptor comparing eSATA with USB2 both reading and writing to the Lacie. I know you feel the same way, so let's keep looking bro. I've pretty much written him off as any type of friend, but revenge in this way is indeed sweet. I mean if he tells his clients that USB is almost as fast as SATA II, he is grossly misleading them.Īnd since this discussion we had, he said he doesn't want to talk to me about technical things anymore becsaue I don't know what I'm talking about. Plus, and I will make this coment to him, for someone in the IT business and with a Master Degree in CS, he better get his $hit together. I just want to chop him down by showing him incontrovertible evidence that he is WRONG. This is just a war of EGO, and his is too big and he is wrong. He simply was telling me I was an idiot for wanting a eSATA connection instead of (or now with) USB 2.0, since he thinks USB 2.0 compared to eSATA is 'not much faster.' My friend isn't going to buy anything, I am. What I'll need to do is find the same drive tested using eSATA then find the same drive and enclosure on this essay and comapre them-however that will be near impossible unless I can find teh exact same drive, enclosure, and test program+platform. Too bad they didn't compare eSATA also, but I didn't check the date-perhaps it wasn't available.
