2 identical Astone (usb2) 3.5 inch sata hard drive enclosures, and was amazed when windoze 7 said it would take 2hours 30 minutes to copy a 39GB file to it. I tried it on the other Astone enclosure and windows reported 11 minutes to copy it, which after a minute went to 19 minutes.
There was plenty of space left on the 1TB drives, so I pulled the cases apart and the faster one had a seagate 7200 sata drive in it and the other had a wd "green" 1TB drive.
Are green drives really that slow, or is there another reason, I guess I could swap the drives in the enclosures for an experiment?
