swestrup100 points to anyone who can identify the movie that quote is from.
I've just finished writing 200 GB of data from my new 500GB SATA drive to my new 500GB PATA backup drive. It took about 2 hours. Yesterday copying that same data off of an 'old' 200GB PATA drive onto the SATA took 5 hours. So, the new backup drive can WRITE over twice as fast as my old system drive can READ. Color me impressed!
(Yes, okay, my old drive is horribly fragmented and the new one was completely empty, but still!)
