I was never able to get the G-Raid's eSATA port to work properly when it was Mac-formatted.
Reformatted it as NTFS/GUID with big blocks and I can write to it at speeds that can be 100+ MB/sec but it can drop to 60 or so.
Oddly, I can usually get more speed from a cheap 3TB Seagate USB drive. Too bad.
More if there are developments.
