Testing:

To test the CP Tech CP-E305 Hard Drive Enclosure, we will see how it performs using a few basic data transfer tests using the program HDTune. We will also be doing a 10MB, 100MB, and 500MB file transfer and test it in seconds. Then we can compare it to some of the other enclosures available, the Kingwin EZ-Dock, and the Thermal Take Vi-on.

HD Tune USB

Test	Kingwin EZ-Dock	Thermaltake Vi-on	CP-Tech 3.5 Enclosure
Average Transfer Rate in MBs	28.8	28.9	28.4
Access Times in MBs	13.6	13.6	13.6
Burst Rate in MBs	27.6	27.6	27.7
CPU Usage	3.9%	4.2%	8.6%

File Transfer (Measured in Seconds)

Test	Kingwin EZ-Dock	Thermaltake Vi-on	CP-Tech 3.5 Enclosure
10MB	.3	.5	1
100MB	6.3	6.5	6.5
500MB	31	28	21

HD Tune eSATA

Test	Kingwin EZ-Dock	Thermaltake Vi-on	CP-Tech 3.5 Enclosure
Average Transfer Rate in MBs	61.2	61.3	63
Access Times in MBs	13.3	13.3	13.2
Burst Rate in MBs	97.1	99.9	121.9
CPU Usage	6.3%	1.8%	1.7%

File Transfer (Measured in Seconds)

Test	Kingwin EZ-Dock	Thermaltake Vi-on	CP-Tech 3.5 Enclosure
10MB	.3	.3	1
100MB	6.3	3.5	4
500MB	15	7	12

So we can see from this that all in all the enclosure is fairly average when it comes to file transfers. The cpu usage is somewhat increased compared to the others while using USB, but the result is a quicker transfer time on larger files.

Let's wrap this all up in the conclusion on the next page...
