Thanks.
I've had a LaCie Quadra 500GB for about a year now. It has 4
interfaces: USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and eSATA. I use the
eSATA interface and it's really fast. The internal drive is a Samsung
and I get well over 80 MB/s sustained transfer rate through eSATA.
USB 2.0 will undoubtedly be somewhat slower. think to note: the
drive came formatted for Mac S (HFS not even FAT32) so Windows won't
recognize it out of the box. I had to delete the partition and
recreate and format it with NTFS for Vista. |
The Quadra is a nice drive, versatile interfaces as you mention.
The one thing to watch out for in your transfer rate is this will decrease as the drive storage used reaches capacity.
