Awesome write speed while mirroring from my old Intel 320 600GB SSD (SATA) to the new OWC Mercury Electra MAX 3G 960GB SSD (USB3) on my ThinkPad W701.
On average more than 2GB per minute.

Which external 2.5 inch usb drives contain actual SATA drives? – Super User « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff said
[…] The OWC 960GB Mercury Electra was the first that was somewhat affordable almost 1TB SSD, but now theM500 and the 840 EVO have taken over. […]

Really? 30 MB/s in 2013 is awesome?

That was on average for more than half a terabyte sustained write. Which on that hardware combination is pretty good.
