In regards to my "30-hour delivery" drive from NewEgg thread...
I hooked up the drive using a raw Lacie quad interface controller board, with an eSATA cable to my Hackintosh, downloaded the free AJA System Test utility, and tested speeds around 130MB/sec read, and 120MB/sec write.
Being only a backup drive this far exceeds my design requirements of ?80MB/sec which is the max speed of my main drive. Also good to know the eSATA works on the mobo without any issues. Only 3gbps eSATA on this system, but that's plenty for just one drive.
