eSata extremely slow.

I am getting eSata transfer rates of _1-2MB/s_.

Lacie 4 Big Quadra 4TB (4x1TB) configured by Lacie as RAID 5 wit
_expected_200-220MB/s_ via eSata.

Hardware and OS:
*Dell Precision M6400 Mobile Workstation (factory configured): QX930
(Intel quad core, 12MB cache), 16GB (DDR3-1066), *FX3700M (1GB), 17
WUXGA RGB-LED (Samsung, 1920x1200), *1TB RAID 0 (2x ST9500420ASG), *2M
Camera, Dual array microphones, Dell 410 Ultra Wide Band/Bluetooth
Intel 5300 a/g/n, CD-DVD (+/-RW GS20N), Backlit keyboard
*_Vista_Ultimate_64-bit_*, Coolslice, E/Port Plus 210W Port Replicator
Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP 30"

All hardware is top of the line and after many hours to both Dell an
Lacie tech support pointing fingers at each other they are now saying O
is the problem (nobody likes Vista!).

Since I have had the Lacie box (~$1000) over 30 days vendor will no
accept return and Lacie says nothing wrong with their product (the
shipped me a replacement and same problem) - yes this has gone on for
longgg time ... and I'm running out of time.

Note that 2 internal HD are RAID 0.

Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller
Intel, Driver version: 8.8.0.1009
Date: 2/11/2009

Any suggestions, Please ..

1. Get a notebook SATA drive, connect it to the eSATA port, and see
how fast data transfers.
2. Connect notebook SATA drive inside of laptop, install Windows XP on
it, and see how fast data transfers to the Lacie.
