The read throughput we’ve seen on the Crucial and iStarUSA devices is very close to the maximum performance we achieved with the test drives when they were operated on the internal reference storage controller. iStarUSA is able to capitalize on the full real-life maximum throughput of USB 2.0, which is approximately 32 MB/s, while Crucial’s SK01 kit stays below 27 MB/s. The Unitek SATA HDD Dock achieves nice USB 2.0 throughput even when using a high-speed 266x CompactFlash card—clearly, the card reader is a high-performance device.

The results are similar for the write performance tests. USB 2.0 limits the throughput of all devices to 25-27 MB/s write transfer rate, while eSATA allows all products to unleash the full performance of the drives they host.

Roundup: Hand-Held Hard Drives With Up To 500 GB
Big hard drive capacities aren't just for immobile desktops any more. We round up the latest portable disks from Fujitsu, Samsung, Seagate, and Western Digital in order to gauge the performance you can expect from hand-held drives with up to 500 GB.






We really need USB 3.0 for external hard drives.
will Crysis run off these? ^_^
we'll get there soon.
Its too bad the Unitek Docking Station wasn't on a faster interface, but its still a great piece of hardware, I might actually invest in it.
Do all of these allow you to plug in and later remove a SATA drive while the computer is powered up? Do you do the same "Safely Remove Hardware" step with a SATA drive that you do with an external USB drive?
"However, the build quality was so poor that we had to open the device and relocate the SATA connectors....."
is it because Made In China?
Imagine a usb 4.0 that will eventually replace SATA ^.^

That was soo terrible I think it gave me cancer
I can recommend the Sharkoon Quickport PRO (which looks remarkably similar like the HDD Docking Station by iStarUSA). I thought my 3 yr old SATA Maxtor harddrive had died: I couldn't hear it spin, a Windows installation bootcd wouldn't detect the drive... and hooked up inside a different computer in Windows it was unable to read/copy any data. However the Sharkoon docking station (with eSATA) had no problems reading it whatsoever and I could save all the data. :-
the gigabyte ex58 ud4p came with this cool io bracket, it let you convert 1 or 2 internal sata ports into e-sata ports, and more importantly, convert one internal molex power plug into 2 external sata power plugs, came with all the cables you need, and you could use it in any computer.

China assembels everything from iPhone to even Sony LCD panels. Production location has nothing to do with it. Price points do. You pay for crap or buy dodgy unbranded items thorugh US-importers who markup unscrupulously, then guess what - you end up with crap. Look at all of your electronic items - including the branded "quality" items. Most are made in China.
