[QUOTE="chappers, post: 882980, member: 77473"] I suspect you're right about the saturation effect. The test was done with about 3.2Gb of data comprising of 30Mb files. This could account for the apparent poor showing of the FW800. I suspect I'm expecting the same response from a laptop with an external drive as I would from my desktop. That may not be viable. Considering I've been living with a slow eSATA transfer rate for some 6 months now maybe the FW800 or USB option may not be so bad after all Thanks for the replies [/QUOTE]
