HD Tach results (note that the eSATA interface shows both drives as the correct type).
HD Tune Results.
The Fujitsu 2.5” drive shows an average read speed of 52.8 MB/s in HD Tach, and 50.6 MB/s in HD Tune.
The WD 3.5” drive shows an average read speed of 105.4 MB/s in HD Tach, and 99.1 MB/s in HD Tune.
The burst speed on both drives is also being reported at around 117 MB/s!
So, eSATA is a huge performance improvement for both drives as can be seen by the results above, and the curve of the graphs shows that the Fujitsu 2.5” drive is no longer being bottlenecked by the connection at all, but the WD 3.5” still seems to have some bottlenecking up to around the 70% mark as shown by the horizontal graph line.
