    Hey, I have a SXPS 1340 and I'm using a Fantom Drives GreenDrive 1TB. I have it hooked up with eSATA and I'm running Win7 x64 Professional. When transferring files, it starts out at a healthy 90MB/s but quickly falls to 20MB/s. What could be the reasons?

    When I checked with Dell on the spec for the eSATA port they told me it is eSATA 1 (1.5 Gb/s). If you have run you device with an eSATA 2 (3 Gb/s) previously you will see a difference using the integrated Dell port.
