Icy Box IB-110StUS2-b - speed problem

October 7th, 2009, 16:15

Hi,
I'm having issues regarding speed reported when i connect my drive with eSATA on this docking station.
The driver reports 1.5Gbps mode and NCQ active.
When i directly connect my drive with plain SATA cable with the mobo the speed reads 3.0Gbps.
The drive is 1.5TB seagate with CCH1 fw.
What could be the problem?
Too long cable??
I have a eSATA bracket on the back of my case that's connected to the mobo.
Meaning i have ~1m total of sata cable to the docking station: ~0.5m from the mobo to the eSATA bracket and ~0.5m from the bracket to the docking station itself.

Please could somebody say something about this issue.
