Caveat emptor:
I have an external Addonics hot-swap (warm-, actually)
enclosure.  While it connects fine to the USB on the chassis, I have
never achieved transfer rates over ~3.6 bytes/sec (as measured by
dump) on what is rated for 80 mbytes/sec.  While there is no
conclusive evidence, eliination of other likely suspects leaves
poorly designed/implemented hardware as the prime candidate.

Perhaps I am tired and therefore misunderstanding...

I just recently bought a seagate TB SATA drive and Roswell enclosure
that has SATA internal and USB/eSATA as external interface.  USB
worked with no difficulty and so did the eSATA when I plugged the
bracked into an existing SATA port on my mobo.  I also had good luck
with Addonics being recognized, until the enclosure itself started
failing, that is.

Supported External SATA to USB Hard Drive Enclosures

2008-08-22 Thread Doug Poland
Hello,

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer and/or model of external SATA to
USB external hard drive enclosures?  I've not had luck with the
devices I pick up off-the-shelf at my local big-box consumer
electronics stores.

BTW, I'm running FreeBSD i386 7.x.
