Hi Evil 40:

Welcome to Ad..I and most the folk around here, would like would enjoy solving your problem..

Certainly NTFS is a better file system than FAT32 {if yer copying} but, you need to give a little more info; than that..

like what OS, and what yoor Pc spec's are..And what progs' yer using?

Well the 'specs' seem OK. So change your file mode.....if that don't improve things.

Best look-see if you're using PIO..or DMA mode...
