I just tested my 100GB WD in its USB2 external enclosure

These are copying a folder containing 4 files 1.4gb total

C = Windows system partition
I - External HD

drive C to drive C took 1 minute and 3 seconds
drive C to drive I took 55 seconds
drive I to drive C took 57 seconds

Which in my mind isn't bad at all really.
