eSATA is much, much faster than USB. The system effectively sees no difference between my external eSATA and an internal SATA drive.Quote:

After much messing about have found limited joy with VIA Chipsets - it seems they will only play ball with the latest chipsets.
Found hot plugging with nforce 5 etc no problem at all.
Generally faster than USB2 but do not believe the difference is that noticable. However it is more reliable when transferring large files ie 200-300Gb.
The beast I built had two sets of SATA connections. The intel set and the jmicron set. The intel gave good results but did not give a "safely remove hardware" icon... the jmicron did.. so given the customer likes to be sure I attached the esata plate to the jmicron set. I had no problem setting it up. So I guess it's just via being awkward.
Next week will get a new via chipset mobo for the solicitors office U/G and test that. Will let you know th4e outcome.Quote:
