@morsh:


To be fair, eSATA has been providing more than adequate specs for permanent external drives for years now...





As to the graphs, thanks for your suggestion but we avoided using MB/s precisely because with random usage like in the performed tests the figures are very unlikely to match the manufacturer's quoted speeds. This is because the type, amount and manner of data transmission (not to mention USB 3.0 controller, SSD firmware, motherboard, etc) can all have a


dramatic impact on file speed.





In Write, for example, the 1GB folder is easily convertible giving 40MB/s, while the 3.5GB single file almost doubles that at over 71MB/s. Neither of these speeds are close to the quoted maximums due to a combination of the above factors, one of the most significant of which is that the 'copy' also includes the writing to/reading from the test machine's moving-parts hard drive.
