i also wondered if it is possible to boot from win7 dvd (or any other bootable disc) with an external optical drive? (connected via usb 2.0)

well i guess its not that easy i connected this http://delock.com/produkte/S_84396/merkmale.html to my dvd drive and it didnt work, no power, drive didnt work. maybe i should have tried http://delock.com/produkte/S_84402/merkmale.html as it is 12V instead of 5V only for the previous cable.

Hi, I would like to know if this will work. The idea is using this eSATA port, with, to connect usual internal dvd-rw optical drive. My guess it should work, although Im not sure if eSATA port will be able to power optical drive without a problem. So my question is, will this safely work...

I installed jumper, it didnt help. I tried to split harddrive to smaller partitions, it didnt help either. (write speed remains very good) Im running out of ideas. :/

Yes, driver is up-to-date. Its bit more complicated. I connected old 80GB Maxtor SATA drive to it (PCI card with sata controller) and both write and read speed on it is very good, basically as it should, over 50MB/s. So it looks like some weird compatibility issue with 2TB WD hdds and PCI...

Quite possibly. But how come write speeds are ok, sometimes even peaking at 90MB/s PCI card uses this chipset http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/serial-ata_raid/vt6421/ (i dont have hdds in raid) Any thoughts what or why it should affect specifically reading speed? (btw, it...

Its same low speed either i copy small or big files, i have tested this and yes it is same when i copy files from drive to itself too. Harddrives are new and both write and read speeds are OK if i connect them through USB (adapter).

Yes it says "No ADF drive detected" (which is correct)

Hi, Im constantly getting very low read speeds for this drive (~1-2MB/s). I (quick) formated it with default allocation size unit setting for NTFS in Windows XP's Disk Manager. Harddrive is connected to a PCI card with additional SATA connector. Write speed is OK, in some cases over 50MB/s...
