LOl does it never end?! I guess it makes sense that we're talking about eSATA 3.0 since that corresponds to the generally deployed SATA 3.0...so when they started coming out with SATA 6.0 it would only stand to reason that there'd be a corresponding eSATA too... Now here's an interesting question which I haven't seen much talk on...as with any transmission protocol, there are details as to how it works and is there any data on which one is theoretically designed better for maximum data throughput? Or do most people just try and do speed tests and figure it out that way? :P Thanks for the info Gary! And btw, how much faster was USB 3.0 vs eSATA 3.0? And should we just wait until Lightbridge/Thunderpeak enabled external devices come out before getting anything? And when do we run up against the speed limitations of the device itself, such that the transmission speed is no longer a bottleneck? Anyone done an article on all that yet...?
