So if you've seen my recent post about my secondary HDD issues you'll know that
I'm transferring a bunch of files from my USB 2.0 external enclosure (I'm
pretty sure it's 2.0 btw) to my newly installed (and apparently now working
fine) WD5000BEKT which is a WD SCorpio Black 7200 RPM 2.5" HD, apparently using
SATA I internally based on the dock I have it in...
So I got a rock-solid 28.5 MBytes/sec on my first 16 gigs of data (mp3s) and
now I'm getting a rock-solid 24.5 MBytes/sec on misc system files I've backed
up. Multiply those by 8 to get Mbits/sec (if that's even necessary when
talking HD transfer speeds), and it's ~220-200 Mbps or so...
So is that a good transfer speed? What's my bottleneck? Is there any way to
improve it, or not with my current system and it's innards... I just figured
there must've been folks here who've looked to tweak/improve that kind of
transfer so I thought I leverage that knowledge! ;)
