I am running intel x58 i7 M/B... and have a 1T WD E-Sata external HDD... When copying or doing file transfers i only get arround 160-200 mb/sec, is this not surpose to be 3Gb/sec? i have checked the drivers and this seems to be up to date... 160-200mb/s should only be for a second or two, usually maxes out at 80mb/s or so for long files. The data path is rated for 3gb/s, but hdds are not. Hence why you can use an FIS switch to make one e-sata port hold five disks all going at max speed. I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Not might, do. Even the fastest are only 300mb/s or so (2.4Gbps). If you really need speed, OCZ and a few others sell a PCI-E card (note it's not SATA at all, so you can't boot from it) that has up to about 640GB and gets 1500mb/s... for more than your computer, camera, and possibly life insurance.
