What would be the Quickest External Drive setup for a 15" Macbook Pro?
This will be used for Video editing. (FCP, Imovie, After effects):
External SATA2 HD with a Firewire 800 express card/34?
OR
External SATA2 HD with a eSATA express card/34
Some sites list the fw/800 transfer speed @ upto 800 mb/s while others list it as 80 mb/s
sataII is supposed to be 3.0GB/s but ive found it listed as 300MB/s on some sites???? Who is correct?
I can get a eSATA Express card from FirmteK
CoolDrives.com
lists speeds like this:
USB2 = USB 2.0 port rated at 48MB/s
1394a FW400 = FireWire 400 port rated at up to 40MB/s
1394b FW800 = FireWire 800 port rated at up to 80MB/s
SATA = SATA port rated at up to 150MB/s
SATA2 = SATA II port rated at up to 300MB/s
According to them Sata is the quickest: BUT does this speed transfer through with a eSATA expresscard adapter?
Anyone with a good video editing setup with a Macbook Pro please let me know THANKS
I posted this in the Video forum as well, I didnt know which would be a better place for this!
