Speedway Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just got my AZIO USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station today and I wanted to share some SS of the difference between my old USB 2.0 docking station and the new USB 3.0! I knew it was going to be faster, but I had no idea how much! I am extremely happy with the $30 bucks I spent, that's for sure USB 2.0 Uploaded with ImageShack.us USB 3.0 Uploaded with ImageShack.us 31MB/s vs 126MB/s = WOW 4x faster I used a 3.41GB movie folder and copied it to my SSD RAID0 setup. Very Happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 nice, albeit pointless if you already had a hybrid esata/usb2.0 enclosure like me (and I don't need a usb 3.0 motherboard change ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 nice, albeit pointless if you already had a hybrid esata/usb2.0 enclosure like me (and I don't need a usb 3.0 motherboard change ) Yea, in order to get to those kind tranfer speeds on an external hd then you would have to spend some money and get a new mobo with USB SS. So might not be the most economical upgrade in your case. But, to me it was only $30, and I do alot of file transfers so it made sense! But, IVI if you are like me and use an external hd for file transfers often, it would be quite a bit faster than the esata! So if/when you do upgrade a $30 hd dock with USB 3.0 is nice!

Speedway Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Pretty good article, almost a year old or not, I liked the info! Any way we can see a data transfer SS of you esata drive to see if the USB 3.0 drivers have matured since then? Benchmarks r Benchamrks, but I have always loved the real world data Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I am using a Seagate 750GB 7200.10 ST3750640AS that came out of a Maxtor One Touch External. The Maxtor stopped powering on, so I ripped the hdd out of it and now use the docking stations. Worked just fine after I removed it from the external enclosure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 damn that's a 7200.10 doing that?! That's amazing drive, my 7200.10 500GB doesn't perform close to that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have me interested to see about WD Black transfer rates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
