[QUOTE="mapexvenus, post: 534315, member: 33227"] I bought a eSATA card recently and had to wait until the manufacturer released a beta leopard driver. When I finally tested it on a LaCie hard drive, I tested it by transferring a 1 GB file from my local HDD to the external drive. I found that it was actually slower than connecting via FW800. Even if the transfer speed of 3.0 Gb is theoretical, shouldn't it be faster than FW800? I am tempted to go out and buy a drive faster than FW 800 since I need the speed, but don't want to until I know that this works. [/QUOTE]
