Am I doing something wrong with my external SSD setup? I thought it would be faster then it is right now. Im not to knowledgeable about SATA I, II, III and eSATA but im thinking I might have got the wrong (slower) enclosure. I know you never get to close to the manufacturers specs but im 5x slower on the read and 3.5x slower on the write. I want to stick with USB 3.0 because thunderbolt setup after enclosure and cable would be almost the price of another SSD.
Here is the enclosure im using

Take advantage of the lightening speed of USB 3.0 to quickly transfer files up to 5 Gbps!
