Too often I find owners, builders that click the UPDATE DRIVER in Windows. You didn't quite tell all such as how you elected to support your SATA drive (in the bios emulating an IDE) or the native mode.

Boy, it just seems more and more that my newly built Vista PC is the culprit. Now I don't know if it's the hardware or software. My specs:-
-Abit IB9 motherboard w/ P965 intel chipset
-Intel 2140 CPU
-Seagate Sata I 80GB hard drive
-Seagate IDE UDMA 5 200GB hard drive
-Corsair 2x1GB PC2-6400 RAM
- XFX Nvidia 8500GT
-Benq DW1655 DVDRW drive
And the rest of the specs are insignificant. Now, onto the problem:-
When I test file transfer, they are slooow! Like this:-
-Sata to IDE hard drive transfer = 1.5-3Mbps
-Sata copy and paste into Sata = 3-4Mbps
-IDE copy and paste into IDE = 3-5Mbps
And if that wasn't bad enough, check out this:- Hard drive to USB flash drive = 500-900Kbps !
I don't know what to do. I installed all the latest drivers. I have very few programs installed. I've also disabled that feature in the control panel that uses minimum bandwidth for file transfer. So what should I do?
Why are my drives slow?
