Posted April 24th, 2006, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist This week at the NAB Conference, FirmTek is showing (Booth SL 1238) their new SATA ExpressCard/34 Host Adapter (SeriTek/2SM2-E) for the MacBook Pro. We had a chance to test it along with their re-designed two tray SATA enclosure (SeriTek/2EN2). We used a Maxtor MaXLine III (7V300F0) drive to compare the speed of its Serial ATA II interface to the same drive connected to FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 ports. GRAPH LEGEND CONCLUSION FirmTek heard our 'prayer' and delivered a SATA ExpressCard/34 hot-swap host adapter that gives us the speed we crave. If you need more storage capacity with transfer speeds that exceed the MacBook's internal drive and any drive(s) connected to USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 ports, the FirmTek SeriTek/2SM2-E SATA ExpressCard/34 is your 'salvation.' You might want to read their whole PRESS RELEASE issued today. NOTE: The new 17' MacBook Pro offers a FireWire 800 port, unlike the 15' model. We plan to test it in comparison to the SATA ExpressCard in the near future. Our guess from past experience is that the SATA interface will still be faster than FireWire 800. FIRMTEK'S REDESIGNED 2 BAY HOT SWAP SATA ENCLOSURE You can save money by buying the SeriTek/2EN2 enclosure in a bundle with the ExpressCard/34 or one of FirmTek's other host adapters. QUICKBENCH 3 (beta 7) FINDER DUPLICATE TEST WHERE TO ORDER THE FIRMTEK SERITEK SATA EXPRESSCARD/34 HOST ADAPTER (SeriTek/2SM2-E) You can pre-order the SeriTek/2SM2-E from FirmTek Direct Ditto for the new two tray hot-swap SeriTek/2EN2 enclosure.
