I stopped it and transferred a large file over and it transferred at 40 Mbps. Transferring back was at 90 Mbps. So large files transfer very fast.
Transferring or deleting a bunch of very small files takes forever though.
I bought a Seagate Dockstar and hooked up an WD 250 GB external drive formatted with NTFS. Access to the drive is extremely slow.
For example I'm using GoodSync to sync a folder on my laptop with a folder on the external drive. After waiting about 5 minutes for it to search the drive to find what files are in need of a sync (something that takes about 30 seconds when connected directly to my laptop), it determined that it needed to delete about 10,000 files. It's been running for about 10 minutes and it's deleted about 500 files. It's literally taking about 1 to 2 seconds per file deleted. Compare this to about 10 to 20 files deleted per second when hooked directly to my PC. It's telling me the process to copy 5000 files and delete 10,000 others will take 30 minutes when the same process with the drive hooked up to my PC via USB would normally take 1 or 2 minutes. That's a lot slower.
Why is this?

It's now telling me it's going to take 22 hours to complete! That's ridiculously slow.
Doing the same job locally on my PC would take at most 3 minutes.
