rohde Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 My XBecnh for disk I/O is painfully low. And when I have to copy large files to my HD it takes 5 times longer than normally. I have two normal ATA/IDE Maxtor drives that work flawlessly in other OSes (Linux, Windows). Anybody with the same experiences?
