I am trying to copy 30 gigabytes from one SATA drive to another SATA drive. These are two seperate drives not even the same drive. I am using an MSI P6N system board with 3gigs of RAM and a core 2 duo. I am using Windows Vista. I am using the SATA ports on the system board. No add-in card. I am using Seagate 7200RPM drives both with 16MB cache.
It is taking FOREVER to copy these files. I came back 5 hours later and the estimated time to finish was over 6 DAYS.
Surely that can't be right? Yet it is moving that slow. What could possibly be causing this issue? This is on a nearly clean install of Vista as well.
