Testing:
All three tests showed the same performance levels between Raid 1 and Raid 0. The following tests show sequential read and writes using a large file as well as smaller sized file transfer rates ranging from 100MB to 4K. The values are the same regardless of raid striping the only difference in read/write speeds is the host interface as such I showed both USB and eSATA

As to be expected USB lags quite a bit behind eSATA though I was very surprised by the paltry 34MB/s read speed under the USB interface. It does however perform on par with the other contestants as shown by Sisoftware Sandra (top left)
eSATA

As expected the eSATA interface blows the USB interface out of the water in terms of raw transfer rate and read/write capabilities. Its a real shame you don’t see this interface being utilized more often. Under the eSATA interface the Sisoftware Sandra(top left) test shows us that this unit almost matches a regular internal SATA drive which is excellent for an external device.
