Re: saavy in the ways of SATA and SATA2
by David Roth Weiss on Jul 4, 2008 at 6:36:23 pm

[Bob Flood] "is SATA or SATA2 on a single drive (yes i mean 7200 rpm, my duh) faster than fw800?"

2x as fast

[Bob Flood] "whats eSATA compared to SATA and SATA2?"

All the drives available now are 3.0Gbs, and they are backwards compatible and for the most part that aspect is transparent to the user. eSATA refers to external SATA, its not a speed thing.

[Bob Flood] "can you chain SATA drives? or is it one port per drive?"

There is no daisy chaining of SATA. "Port multiplier technology" (PM) is one way of carrying multiple signals from a suitably equipped controller to a suitably equipped enclosure, but it has issues with reliability. Mini SAS has one connector on the controller end for every four on the enclosure end.

The problem you're going to have is finding a solution that's compatible between your MAC requiring a PCIx card and those requiring a PCIe card. If I were you I would call Caldigit and discuss that aspect of things with them.
