Incredible Speed Boost Over Existing External Technologies
The single most anticipated feature of the SATA external solution is the sheer speed enhancement you get over FireWire and USB 2.0. Take a look at the list below:

  • USB 1.1 = 12Mbps
  • USB 2.0 = 480 Mbps
  • FireWire IEEE1394a = 400Mbps
  • FireWire IEEE1394b = 800Mbps
  • eSATA = 1.5Gbps

As you can see from the list above eSATA offers you a tremendous speed boost with room to spare.

Faster Detection Times
From our own internal testing we have come to the conclusion that most systems with SATA detect and unload the external hard drive enclosures in a fraction of the time over USB and FireWire.
Shielded External Cable
Because the eSATA connection offers such a high bandwidth you need a cable that will not suffer from electronic interference. The shielded cable provided ensures that you get the most out of your enclosure.
Hot Swap
There is nothing more annoying then having to turn off your computer just to plug in a device. Well with this kit you don't have to, plug and unplug the SATA cable while the computer is on.
Transfer files between Windows and OSX
The unit can be plugged into any OSX based Macintosh and Windows based computer. If you need to transfer data with a Windows XP, 2000, ME computer you'll be glad to know that the unit is instantly detected and requires no drivers. If you wish to have windows machines write to the hard drive you will have to format the drive in a windows compatible file system.
