Benching our Seagate Barracuda drive on its own gives us a baseline performance that we will use to compare linear (sequential) read speeds.
Whilst we find a very healthy set of results under USB3.0, there is a slight drop in performance experienced.
The second of our tests was using the eSATA interface, and looking across the linear read figures, we find as expected, speeds that closely resemble that of our true SATA 3Gbps connection.
