Hey everyone. I just did a little work on my PC and am looking for a sanity check. I built my PC a few months ago and was running with just a SATA drive. Today I installed a WD 120GB EIDE drive for backups & MP3's as a master on the Primary IDE channel. When I went to copy my MP3 files (~50 GB) from the SATA drive to the EIDE drive, it said that it was going to take about 50 minutes. Does that sound right? If not, what should I check to speed things up? Thanks!
