hello dear members,

i wanna buy an G-RAID by G-technology, and will of course be using it in RAID 0

they say that with thier eSata adapter it can reach speeds around 230MB/s

this eSata adapter is 320 dollars. wich i find a bit of a lot for just an eSata adapter. whats the difference between a normal eSata adaptor or one from G-technology? can i reach the same speed with a 300MB/s eSata adapter from a different brand?

thanks!

the price is the main difference :)

but the firmtek one which is good is about $200 for 4 ports

the ones from OWC that support PM cases are about $80 but they are two port only ? so figure $160 for 4 ports to compare price per port

the OWC ones or the firmtek will be good enough to hit the same speeds ? some cheap ones wont do as well ?

so actually it doesnt matter wich eSata adapter i buy aslong as its not a cheap ass one and it can transfer 300MB/s ? I dont need 4 ports thou. 2 is enough.
