exactly. eSATA is local storage, not network storage. The eSATA bus has much higher bandwidth capacity than even Gigabit Ethernet, and in that enclosure, for instance, each of the four drives has its own channel, so your throughput is far closer to what you would see with internal storage than a USB/Firewire drive or NAS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
