The RocketU beat LaCie’s USB 3.0 PCI Express Card in all but one test. The AJA test revealed an increased speed gap between the connections, showing the d2 Quadra could write data at 70.3MBps when using FireWire 800, but could go as high as 109.5MBps via USB 3.0. Transferring a 2GB file from the d2 Quadra was much faster via USB 3.0, with a rate of 103.5MBps compared to 82.4MBps connected to FireWire 800. In our 2GB folder write test, the USB 3.0 rate was 84.2MBps, while the FireWire 800 rate was 71.6MBps. How does FireWire 800 compare to USB 3.0? To find out, we tested the RocketU with the LaCie d2 Quadra USB 3.0, which has both USB 3.0 and FireWire 800 ports.
Both drives posted rates over 40MBps in the AJA write tests. The Avastor HDX-1500 1TB ( ) saw its write speed jump from 32.0MBps to 41.7MBps. The RocStor Blazer B9 500GB saw its 2GB folder write speeds increase from 30.4MBps to 37.1MBps. USB 2.0 drives when connected to the RocketU also got a bit of a speed boost, especially when writing files. The OCZ Enyo 128GB posted a rate of 110.2MBps in the 2GB folder write test and 107.2MBps in the 2GB file write test.

The ioSafe Rugged Portable SSD ( ) gathered scores of 90.4MBps and 106.8MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests, respectively. Solid state drives really took off when connected to the RocketU, tripling their performance when using USB 2.0. When connected to the RocketU, the Rikiki posted speeds of 73.1MBps and 84.0MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests. We saw an even bigger boost when we tested the LaCie Rikiki 500GB ( ) it recorded speeds of 30.2MBps and 32.9MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests, respectively. When attached to a RocketU USB 3.0 port, it wrote the 2GB folder at 59.7MBps and 2GB file at 65.4MBps. The Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB ( ) wrote a 2GB folder at 29.8MBps and a 2GB file at 30.7MBps through USB 2.0.

The drives that we tested saw a dramatic boost in performance when switching from USB 2.0 on the Mac Pro to the RocketU’s USB 3.0. To check for speed, we tested the drives through the USB 2.0 ports on the Mac Pro for a baseline result, and then performed the same tests using the RocketU.
