I've noticed a significant performance improvement on my HR21 since adding my new 1TB eSATA drive. Curious if anyone else noticed this as well?
If so, any ideas why?

Does your eSATA drive improve your HR2X performance?

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it probably has more to do with starting over then with the drive itself. Putting in a new drive (unless you used some drive backup voodoo) means blank database starting over.
There is a couple of things.
Like Zygneri said there is a noticeable difference between 5400 and 7200 rpm drives. as far as drive access. Other things to consider, I know in the HR20 that it only had a Sata1 standard, while the chipset supported faster sata2 standard. Also if you have a higher end drive with prependicular recording vs standard write methods. Another thing is with things like Prependicular recording can take larger drives that use to span multiple platers down to a single plater. Less platers to search the faster the drive. A old 500gig sata 2 that is broken up on 3 physical platers ( the metal disk inside the drive it self ) vs a newer sata2 that now been able to reduce it down to 1 physical plater.
