FILE STORAGE
The Odyssey SSDs support read rates of 500 Mbytes/sec. Keep in mind you will be limited by
the slowest median in the transfer process. For example: eSATA 3GBps interface cards have a
max performance of ~270Mbps, and eSATA 1.5GBps have a max performance of ~130Mbps.
Typical Hard Drives (non-RAID) generally perform anywhere in the range of 80-130MbpsFor
maximum performance, make sure you are using eSATA 6 GBps, USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt to a
RAID configuration.
