   Nope. Not with FW800 LaCie D2 Quadra it doesn’t ;)

   Transferred video files the other day – 160GB odd I think – was done in quite a short time. Copying stuff to my RAID0 FW800 volume is even quicker.

   Out of curiosity, how’s the drive connected? What drive is it?

   Ahh, see… *points at a snail on the ground*
   USB2 sucks for anything other than connecting gadgets IMHO. May I suggest FW800? :D

   You can, but it won’t help. I don’t have a FireWire 800/SATA disk adaptor!

   This is just the initial backup so subsequent backups will take almost no time at all so I am not too worried.
