hello all
I have a non-jmicron e-sata express card,
http://www.apiotek.com/Global/Product/Add-on_Card/EC-0003D.htm
on snowleopard- which means it's non bootable, but it works- yet i was wondering if the drivers were installed right- if i right click on the card icon in the finder it reads Silicon Image and Sil 3132 SATA Link controler-
I installed the driver found on the apiotek page Mac OSX 10.5, 10.6 Snow Leopard (BASE) | (RAID) but I'm wondering if the express card is sing the right one, getting the following benchtests on a 5400 drive (which used to be my mbp's internal drive) :
Results 35.01

opinions ?
I was wondering how to remove the drivers and re-install them, to make sure the card's using the one's it's supposed to use, which I believe shoud be this one
http://www.apiotek.com/Database/PD_Driver/EC-0003D/Mac/SiI3132_1.2.4.zip ie 1.2.4
I really don't know how to make sure the card isn't using another driver, and that it's running at it's full potential- 30Mbs second sounds a little slow, unless i'm not reading the benchmark right... the same enclosure (http://www.macway.com/fr/product/12...ata-usb-20-et-firewire-pour-dd-sata-2535.html ) gets higher specs in firewire 800....
what can I do ?
thanks
