G-Technology G-RAID 3 External Hard Drive Review (page 2)
Bottom Line
If your computer has an eSATA port, there's no simpler way to get a fast stripe set connected. You'll be amazed at the speed-odds are it'll outperform the boot drives in the vast majority of video workstations. However, if your computer lacks an eSATA port, an external hard drive with a single drive mechanism (not using RAID) will likely give you the same level of performance, and probably for less money.

SUMMARY
A great drive, but it's only really worth it if your computer has an eSATA port to exploit the drive's raw speed.
