| 1186186 | 2011-03-15 05:21:00 | Hey my mate has a new AMD Phenom system and today he was copying files from one Sata2 hard drive to another but was only getting 30MBps according to teracopy. Why would this be? He is running XP Pro on 3.5gb of ram. |

| 1186187 | 2011-03-15 05:36:00 | What model hard drives? Maybe there were lots of little small files? That can really slow things down at times... |

| 1186188 | 2011-03-15 05:45:00 | Um not sure on the models, but I know they are both WD one was 1tb and the other was a 2tb green. Um yeah they were small files, it was his entire music collection. |

| 1186190 | 2011-03-15 08:21:00 | Yeah, I've had some frustration with my Greens being dead slow to read. Still happy to buy them, but don't expect them to fly in all situations. Fine for occasional backups. Not a first choice for a system disc. |
