MacBook Pro and Serial ATA (SATA)—SeriTek

I’ve updated my MacBook Pro Experience Report with tests using the SeriTek/2ENSM2-E External Bundle with a 2-drive striped RAID 0 setup using 2 Maxtor 7V300F0 drives, previously discussed in this blog.

The speed is dramatically faster than anything the internal hard drive or Firewire has to offer, and will go a long way towards eliminating the bottleneck of disk speed on the MacBook Pro. The sole remaining serious limitation of the MacBook Pro for serious photography work is the limitation to only 2GB of system memory.
