I would check your write caching policy is Enabled in Device Manager for the device in question, accessible through the Properties > General click Change Settings button.
You might also check if your eSATA port is SATA I, II or III capable, with III being the fastest at a theoretical maximum of 6 Gbps.
From memory I get close to 30 mbps but I cannot confirm as my system is getting repaired.
