eSATA and XPS 1530

Welcome to the forums :smileyhappy:

I've just had a look on the DeLock website, but your card isn't listed for some reason?  Maybe it's an EOL product?

Anyways... did you get/have you installed ExpressCard drivers?

The nearest similar product for which drivers are available on the DeLock website, is the 61386... but I don't know if those drivers would work for your model?

If you don't have drivers for yours, I'd suggest those ones have got to be worth a try?

Not familiar with the delock you have, but if it is just like all the other generic silicon image chip one like the one I have from bytecc u r wasting ur time, esata speeds r so underwhelming that usb is faster or about the same. Just use the usb, its easier, and probably faster. If it can transfer faster I would like to know about it. my esata transfers at abt 11mbps sometime even less which is the same as usb, i have seen the same drive transfer upto 26mbps on usb.

Although we're never likely to actually see the sorts of speeds it's capable of - due to the limitations of current technologies, eSATA is (potentially) up to 6x faster than USB 2.0 (and firewire 400 of course)!

For those reasons alone, there's absolutely no reason at all, why copying/moving data to/from a fast hard drive, in an eSATA enclosure, connected to an eSATA ExpressCard, should be slower than USB 2.0?
