Maximum SATA Speed, X2

The PRO Duo-eSATA and Duo-eSATA houses two of the latest SATA disk drives; each is rated for a speedy 3Gb transfer rate. Combining the two fast disk drives gets even higher data rates. Using the operating system to stripe the two drives, you will get an amazing 140MB/s. This translates to many real-time video streams for editing and playback to save you time in your editing workflow, getting your project done on time and on budget. If you need more real-time playback and higher data rates than FireWire 800 can provide, the PRO Duo-eSATA and Duo-eSATA are your solutions. See the eSATA vs. FireWire 800 comparison chart below:

If you are a data rate kind of person, here are the numbers with the two drives striped together, 140MB/s at the empty range, and keeps up to about 70MB/s at full. Still plenty for lots of work.

The PRO Duo-eSATA and Duo-eSATA comes complete with two high performance disk drives installed, a two eSATA port PCI-e 1x Host Adapter for workstations or Express Card/34 for laptops, two 1-meter eSATA cables, and a power module.
