About the EC2 Host Adapter

The EC2 card has two eSATA ports. Officially, these are 3Gbps SATA II ports, and can sustain 125MB/s on each

port. The EC2 uses a PCIe slot in your computer. When using eSATA, copy speeds will increase significantly

when moving large amounts of data from one drive to another. Typically, a GT 050Q can reach around 70MB

per second when using FireWire 800. When connected to our EC2 card, speeds of over 110MB/s are easily

attainable using the same drive. Higher bandwidth is quite handy when you need to backup or move the

entire contents of a large hard drive.
