Re: Help choosing a good performing eSATA pc express card for MBP
by chris forrester on Jul 14, 2009 at 10:07:20 pm

I was thinking this might be the card to invest in. I am sure it is worth the price point it stands at.
Am I correct in thinking the difference is I can get 100MB/s per port instead of the cheaper non pro which only give 50MB/s. I have purchased a WD My Book studio Edition II (before I knew of G-Tecs products they have obviously a good name in video editing) http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=410

I am hoping to hook this drive to the MBP I have(2006 version) and get full speed drive access from it on the one port, one drive. I have this WD drive as Raid 0 and was wanting to boot from it and load video from it. Just generally have quicker access speeds to my files. I will be backing up regularly so I am willing to risk the loss of data booting my system and storing data this way. I just hope to gain some more performance from my machine whilst doing my compositing.

Perhaps you can confirm some of my thoughts here. (I might have my MB/s mb/s mixed up though ) :-P

Thanks for the reply
