Does anyone know the REAL difference in speed you will see between the USB 2.0 and SATA II or eSATA connections using the above test methods?

This thread started my curiosity. I just backed up 8.16 GB of data using eSATA 1.5. It took 6 minutes. I then backed up using a WD series II USB 2.O this took 18 minutes. To me this is based on a trial effort. No marketing hoo haa.

Sounds about right. I get about 17-18 MB/s reads from an external USB2. Still didn't get the new firewire800 card working, so no numbers for that yet. (e)SATA should be about 50-80 MB/s.

Seagate 400GB 7200.9 16MB USB2
Seagate 400GB 7200.9 16MB Firewire 400 (IEEE1394)
Seagate 320GB 7200.10 16MB SATA 150 Internal

Here are a few results for 3 different interfaces.
eSATA should be the same as internal SATA.
