Hello, (first post here so if this is the wrong section or whatever apologies).....
I just purchased a new "Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 200Gb 7200rpm 8mb Cache ATA133 Hard Drive - OEM" hard drive and have installed it as a slave drive.
My master drive is a maxtor 80gb model number "6L080J4" not sure on the exact specifications as this was the one that came with the computer when i bought it about 3 years ago.
I'm pretty sure ive set it up right and have run powermax to check the h/d isn't faulty but im still having issues.
When i try to transfer files from my master to my slave my cpu maxes out and the file transfers are rediculously slow.
I have an external (usb2) 120gb h/d and a backup film transfers to this in about 1minutes. Transfering a back up film to from either my external or my master to the slave takes about 7minutes......
I really dont have a clue whats up.... im thinking maybe i need to buy something like this:

But i dont honuestly know if this will help and dont want to spend the money if it's not going to help.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....
