This morning i installed another external device on my PC: Maxtor One Touch II external drive, 250 Gb, 16 Mb buffer, 7200 RPM, average seek time < 9 Mb/sec., USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 (firewire). I connected it to my PC by the IEEE 1394. My cahce is now:

3048 Gb on Transcend JetFlash V30/4Gb, on USB 2.0 (J:);

3048 Gb on Maxtor One Touch II 250 Gb, on IEEE 1394 (I:).

Eboostr manages both peripherals without any problem, everything works well, the system is faster like never has been. I submit here some speed tests hoping to be useful.
