Comments about Micronet Micronet Fantom Drives GreenDrive 1TB eSATA/USB 2.0 Hard Drive:
Micronet is using the 8MB cache version of the Western Digital Green Drive instead of the 32MB cache version. I see a noticeable performance degradation over the eSATA connection in comparison to a 32MB version I had purchased separately; not so much over USB.
