re - it looked somewhere in the vicinity of 2.5 MB's per second
----


unscientific test -
48 gb transfer took little less then 20 minutes.
From an internal SATA to an external SATA.

"to the other both inside the seritek SATA case,"

Perhaps you need to double check that drives are well inserted in the sleds, sleds in to box, cables good and snug and try to reseat the pci card and or put in a different slot, and as last century as it sounds 'zap that pram'.

I just copied from my boot drive to one of my Seritek Mirrors a folder that was 2.42gb and it too exactly 56 seconds. Going to a single drive should have been even faster.

another unsicentific time reference;

about 48 minutes to back up 80 gb in a boot drive to 300 gb eSATA volume, using Super Duper (G5 DP 2.0, 10.3.9)

repair permissions on the boot drive, erase external 300 gb SATA, copy the contents to it, then make the 300 gb bootable.

average was only around 28mb/sec, nothing to write home about, but i'm not concerned about blazing speed at the moment.

Well, who'd have thunk it. I just switched out the brand new Maxtor 300GB drive for one of my Western Digital 400GB's and it's now lightening speed. I'm transfering about 2 GB's a minute. I'm sending that Maxtor drive right back. Mad Seriously. The Maxtor was taking close to 10 minutes to transfer 1 GB. Eeker
