This seems more like the SATA-II interface speed of ~300MB/s... |

Yeah, bogus. And remember that 480 is megabits/sec (Mb/s)...actually |
| 12 |
more like 60MiB/s maximum throughput (although I have yet to get more |
| 13 |
than 29MiB/s from any USB drive). |

Well I would first poke around in the device manager for the SATA |
| 20 |
interface and make sure it is not in PIO mode. Then check the |
| 21 |
property pages of the disk and make sure that write caching is |
| 22 |
enabled. |
