OhGizmo!: Put That eSATA Port To Good Use With A Dual-Interface Flash Drive

  • skeptic · 1 year ago
    I call bullshit. The bottleneck on flash drives is the memory itself, not the USB2.0 throughput. USB2.0 throughput is 60MB/s. But you are lucky to find a flash drive that can read at better than 35MB/s. Using a connection with faster throughput does not improve the speed of the memory chips.

    Ditto to what skeptic says.

    If you read the article it states that this isn't flash memory, it's a Solid State Drive (SSD), which can reach significantly higher speeds (Samsung just released one that does 200 MB/s). So while this won't FULLY utilize my poor SATA port it will certainly go much further then a flash drive
