well, I was estimating, and I am expecting about 30+MB/s given a friend |
| 15 |
gets the same with the same drive. |

nope, windows does the transfer in about 10/15 seconds, (I can time it |
| 22 |
exactly if you're interested) making the speed (conservatively) about |
| 23 |
7Mbytes/sec. |

yeah, its the way it has to be unfortunately. This will eventually |
| 34 |
become my internal HD, so I need it to dual boot, plus I added a few |
| 35 |
more partitions for linux (/ /boot /usr /home) plus a couple for windows |
| 36 |
- one for play and one for work... anyway. |
