What is the transfer rate from an internal SSD (OCZ 256 GB) to an external SSD (OCZ 480 GB), using the e-sata port?

If it (Mini Pro) is connected to a 6Gbit eSata port & the internal SSD is connected to a 6Gbit internal port, then the transfer rate will be equal to the slower of the two SSD's transfer rate.

SATA is backwards compatible so it should be fine. In fact, if you are replacing a plater drive it should be faster even with the 1.5 Gb/sec bottleneck.

go with samsung ssd or crucial ssd. with solid state hard drive there will be a very noticeable increase in speed. go with what you can afford, the 120g is a good price. the samsung 840 pro I got from amazon came with data transfer cd. One thing I researched was read and write speeds and it looks like the bigger the ssd capacity the faster it is. definitely ssd.

This card will give you two USB 3.0 ports and close to the 3.0 USB speed. But it will not affect the speed of your e-sata port (unless it is being physically being replaced by this card.)My peraonall experience is that this card would not power my External USB HDD.

This card has been working well with my system running 32-bit XP Pro. However, I experience VERY low RAID-5 data transfer rate, about only 40 MBytes/s on read and 10 MBytes/s on write. It should say SATA I (not II).

Yes, SD in drive bay is OK. There is also an mSATA connector on the mother board that can be used for SSD.

It won't be as fast as an ssd drive in the slot. You might look into moving your optical drive external and putting a drive in the optical bay.

No, this is not a SSD drive. I would not recommend using a SSD drive as an external device. The price point per gigabyte ( X gigabyte/$ = pricepoint) does not make financial sense. Also , you will suffer a performance hit with most of the common available ports on a laptop or pc (USB2/USB3 {avg 90MBs} and eSATA {avg 75MBs}) ,which would neglect the advantage of these super fast devices (SSD avg 500MBs). Because of the port speeds an old fashion hard drive is the best choice.

Hmm... I personally don't know this either (I too would like to know -- in case anyone has tested it out). However, the product picture show the "SERIAL ATA" logo with "1.5Gb/s" below it -- making me believe it is not SATA 3Gb/s or SATA 6Gb/s. I am looking for one that supports 3Gb/s.

SATA 1.5 Gbit/s and SATA 6 Gbit/s are compatible with each other. Most devices which are only SATA 1.5 Gbit/s can connect with devices that are SATA 6 Gbit/s, and vice-versa, though SATA 1.5 Gbit/s devices only connect with SATA 6 Gbit/s devices at the slower 1.5 Gbit/s speed. SATA 3 Gbit/s and SATA 6 Gbit/s are compatible with each other. Most devices which are only SATA 3 Gbit/s can connect with devices that are SATA 6 Gbit/s, and vice-versa, though SATA 3 Gbit/s devices only connect with SATA 6 Gbit/s devices at the slower 3 Gbit/s speed. That being said, this cable allows you to connect your SSD drive to a USB 3 port on your computer and transfer data at a higher rate. However, if your computer has only USB 2 ports, then the max transfer rate will be at the lower USB 2 level capability.

Hi, I got this in February from Amazon and I have been very happy with the performance of the Corsair 256 GB model I recieved. I did some real world transfers using a stop watch and a 5.23 GB file transferred from my internal SSD to the Corsair in about 26.7 seconds. A smaller file at 2.26 GB transferred in about 11.6 (remember I am pressing the button) so both clock in at about 200 MB/Sec writes. I downloaded and tested it with BlackMagic disk speed test and it consistently 170 write and 290 read speeds and Blackmagic says it would support writing at 1080p24 at 10 bit YUV 4:2:2 (whatever that means). I have even run a couple of VM's on it with VMware with acceptable performance. Hope this helps

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

Yes you can. You might not see as high transfer speeds connected to a USB 2.0 port but it will work fine. I in fact have used it with both 3.0 and 2.0 ports on my computer with no observable transfer speed differences from my conventional hard drive. One of the limiting factors is your hard drive read write speeds. My 7200 rpm hard drive just couldn't read fast enough to take advantage however my ssd was considerably faster but was still limited by the write speed of the external.

You are correct (and previous answer is not). The drive interface is 6Gb/sec (that's gigabits per second), as it says on the label. This is the standard speed of Sata3. This translates to roughly 600MB/sec - plenty enough to carry the quoted 550 MB/ sec the drive is capable of.

ya i expected as much too, but it is a USB 2.0 speed for the enclosure, how ever the SSD is super fast when it's hoked by a SATA cable as an internal HDD.

Yes, it's a 256GB mSATA SSD(plugs into one of the mini PCI-e slots. Not accessible from the main panel under the system.

Yes you can. I used this to upgrade from a SATA 128GB SSD to a 256GB SSD. You install the software, connect the new target SATA drive with the adapter, select the partition to copy and let it run. Took me 45 minutes to do this. I then shut down my PC, swapped drives and restarted the PC and I was back in business.
