Eagle Tech Consus T & M Series SATA-IDE Enclosures Review

Storage/Other by SidneyWong @ 2007-06-28

External hard drive enclosure finds its market in the last couple of years due to the ease of installation and use when people exhaust the system hard drive capacity from their photo and music collections. Today, we take a look at two of the enclosure from Eagle Tech, the Consus T and M Series.

Performance Test

Test Setup:

Windows XP Test Setup

T-series – Performance :

Western Digital 5400 RPM 60 GB IDE hard-drive.

35.5MB/s from a 60GB 5400 drive going thru USB connection is not bad at all, while the old horse "Sandra" reported 27MB/s.

M-Series – Performance :

Hitachi 7200 RPM 160 GB SATA 1.5 Hard-dirve.

Madshrimps (c)

With the lack of eSATA PCI pass-thru bracket and the lack of eSATA port on the motherboard, I could only assume eSATA will be somewhat faster than USB; >37MB/s and 35MB/s from HD-Tach and Sandra respectively.
