ATA133 to SATA150 Copy Speed?

I have just added a SATA raid0 (2xMaxtor 160Gb DiamondMax 9) to my system and
have to copy a lot of media files (MP3's) from my old 80Gb ATA133 Maxtor
DiamondMax 9 to the RAID.

I have set it up to do the copy using the Windows XP Pro explorer, but it
seems very slow.

My Processor is only at about 4%.

Each file is between 3 and 12Mbytes, and takes on average about 2 seconds to
copy - is this right?

Any help will be greatly appreciated - Thanks - Gary

Copy will use very little processor time. The whole operation can be no
faster than the old drive.

But even by the old drives standards the copy seemed very slow, it reported
it would take about 170 mins to complete a 25Gb copy. (It actually took about
120mins)

It only took about 60mins to format the 320Gb Raid.

Any advise or information on internal copy rates would be great.

Thanks Gary
