My pvmoves do about 1.6Gb per minute (~50Mb/s).
If your drive can do 30Mb/s transfer, figure about 5 hours to copy
500Gb. Remember, you're copying the WHOLE DRIVE. It's big.
Makes sense... From the board manual it tells me it can handle up
to 6 3Gb/s SATA drives - there's only two of them in there right now:
Seagate Baracuda's (7200)... Maybe I should've shelled out for 10K
drives. Ugh.
Seagate says:
INTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (Mbits/sec) _______up to 1030
SUSTAINED TRANSFER RATE (Mbytes/sec)______up to 72
EXTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (Mbytes/sec) ______up to 300
