Is this normal ? I have a asus av7 kt133 motherboard, 1 gighertz tbird. I have two western digital hard drives connected it. One hard drive is a 13 meg udma 66 5400 rpm hd and it serves as the secondary master device. I have another hd a 30 gig udma 100 7200 drive as the primary master device.When i transfer a gigabyte of data between the two drives it takes around 9 minutes using windows me. When i set the 13 gig drive as a primary slave to the 30 gig primary master device the transfer time gets reduced to 4 minutes. Is there something wrong with my motherboard and is 4 minutes still a long time to transfer a gig of data ?
Also I recently bought a teac 16x burner. I set that as the secondary master. The burner supposedly reads a 40 x. When I make a cd copy (around 620 megs, the path is from cd to hd and back to the cd(i only have one cd drive)) it takes 7 minutes to read that thing to my drive but when i burn it it copies it back in 4 1/2 minutes. Whats going on here ?
Thanks
