Does this support 6 gb/s transfers? The description says supports up to 3 gb/s but figured I'd ask since I have an SSD that can do 6 gb/s transfers.

After reading the packaging & documentation the adapter comes with, it'll max out @ 3 gb/s speeds on HDD's and SSD's. No 6 gb/s speeds on this adapter. That being said, I still think it's a great product.

Short answer No. Fastest transfer for USB3 is 5gb; 6gb is fastest for SataIIIThe usb port you are hooked into will also make a difference, as all USB3 port buses don't operate to the full potential.I didn't notice that description said 3gb; but for myself, I feel this adpter will give maximum thru-put for whatever system it is plugged into.

Yes! My main computer is a MacbookPro Retina (mid 2012), and they s reader works really well with it. I haven't measured speeds but never had an issue, transfer have always seemed fast.

Although I haven't checked the actual transfer speed, it is fast and does support SDHC and SDXC cards.

The specs for the enclosure don't indicate anything beyond supporting 2.5" SATA drives; however, the version of this enclosure from Oyen Digital that ships with a 1TB hard drive uses the Hitachi 0J22423 Travelstar 7K 1000 7200RPM 6Gb drive supporting "up to 572 MB/sec" via USB3. So, both 3Gb/s drives and 6Gb/s drives are supported. I have both the FW800/USB3 version of this enclosure using a 1Tb Hybrid drive and the FW800/USB2 versions using a 500Gb Samsung SSD drive. While I have not bench-marked them, I get good performance from both.

This card is a Sata 2 expansion card. From what I know, Solid state drives..(SSD) use Sata 3 tech. I don't think this is what you are looking for, and if it was, the speeds are far slower and limited should you find a way to get an adapter and make it somehow work. etherdose@gmail.com

I believe the speed is more dependent on what speed your PC and hard drive are capable of transferring data rather than the speed of this case. Most PC's that are set up for eSATA have an interface card that will determine the transfer rate as will the rating of the hard drive. This case should deliver whatever transfer rate the interface is designed to transfer data. If your hard drive is capable of transfer rates up to 6Gbps, but you PC's eSATA interface is not, then you will not get 6Gbps. My PC is designed to transfer up to the 3Gbps rates, so I cannot speak definitively as to whether or not it will transfer at 6Gbps, but I would say if your PC and hard drive are capable, then this case should not interfere with data transmission.

Speed wise they're close 600Mb/s for SATA 3, and 625MB/s for USB 3, but they're not really comparable. The SATA speeds are for conventional HDD, and the USB speed would be for SSDs.

Depends on your performance requirement. I personally find that it cannot support heavy transfer over long periods.

The old Compaq supported IDE drives, whereas this supports a SATA interface... this SSD may not fit into your machine, unless there are some converters or adapters available. However, even if the converters or adapters are there, the trasnfer speeds would be that native to the interface you connect this drive to. I think, in your case the best would be to use it as an external drive.

I believe the transfer rate really depends on the speed of your USB ports on your computer. I use my GoFlex to back up my computer files. I do not recall it being all that slow. Cheers.

It does support sata III so yes it supports 6Gb/s however (and you prob already know this) the bottleneck of any burner is the spin speed as cd media pretty much flies apart much higher than I think 40x and so you won't see much better write and read transfer rated than a sata 2 hdd really. But that's reality. This drive is the best drive you can buy and it flat out works 100% every time.

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.

G-Technology G-DRIVE with Thunderbolt (0G03124) has a transfer rate of up to 165 MB/s. http://g-technology.com/products/g-drive-thunderbolt

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

1- supports sata 3 up to 6Gbps. Backward compatible to sata 2 (3Gbps) and sata1 (1.5Gbps) specification. 2- No! This is an all in one unit. I'm using 2 64GB SSD drivers and set it up in a raid . It speed up your computer 100x better. It almost instantly the changes to the next window. I like this setup and it is in a nice package.

Great question! There is a firmware update that just came out for this. Also make sure you never defrag an SSD it will turn it into a paper weight.

The drive is capable of 6. Works fine at 3. May see increase in speed over 3 only drive due to buffering
