Toshiba Portege r700




So far no complaints but one: keys are kinda too far apart. Slight discomfort. Finger scan instead of pass is sweet.

Thin and light FTW!

BTW anyone used the esata/usb port combo?

Kinda hard to get some decent info (search gives pc specs...)

Can i use that port for regular usb?

Can i use that port for regular esata?

Are there devices with esata/usb combo that dont need external power but are working on esata speed?

Tried usb stick, on first look wasnt really fitting but maybe i need to push harder? Decided not to brake it on first day devil:

PS: and then i found the wiki
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESATA/USB" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

eSATA/USB ports can be used for either eSATAp(Power over eSATA), eSATA or USB devices. Only one type of device can be plugged in at any one time. An eSATA/USB port has a plastic divider inside the port, on one side there are 7 standard contacts for an eSATA device and on the other side of the plastic tab are 4 standard connectors for a USB device. The port is designed so that either device being used doesn't touch the other set of connectors to prevent short circuits. The port has keyed cutouts for both type of devices, in order to prevent users from mismatching the connectors.

Nice laptop

You just have to insert the usb or sata with correct orientation, forcing will defo break something.

I believe the eSata on the usb combo have nothing to do with each other and have different controllers on each pin set, now if the eSata is wired to the board through the usb port... 400mbit is the top it will reach... anyway.. no single HD does 400mbit.

ill try it out when i get back from work

Tunes u prolly counting in 400MB/sec?
USB 2 has maximum of 480Mbit =>60MB/s theoretical
In practice its around 25-40MB/s

I sure do have hdd's that are faster than that

I know what I write

Usb goes to 480Mb/s which means 60MB/s, no single HD does more than 50MB stream or around 80MB scatter.

Of course there are a lot faster HD, but they are connected to FCA Channels, cost your butt and eyes and make noise like a learjet.

The 400Mbit I wrote about USB, is till now the top BW used on USB with a single device on a controller.

BTW

B for byte

b for bit
