i spent ages looking for real world eSata disk speeds on the G-tech G-Raid Mini and couldn't find anything so thought the info might help someone.
Im using this on a Macbok Pro with a Sonnet Tempo eSata Expresscard34. The card has worked first go, with no problems after installing the driver. The drive is great in that even with eSata it is still bus powered if you plug in the firewire cord as well.
It's with a 3,1 Macbook Pro so only has a Sata 1.5 connection. While I'm happy with it, i was still kind of hoping that the speeds would get up to 150 but they fall a bit shy at 110.
