Sata transfer speed

[Kingfisher]

Hi gang,

 

I am in the process of cleaning up some of my hard drives.

I want to move my music file(32gb) from one regular sata drive to another. They are both identical 160gb hitachi desk stars.

My ttransfer speed for this file is 11mb/s

Isn't that a bit slow?

These drives are both interior mounts a run off the sata 2 ports on my motherboard.

 

I know these are old and decrepit drives but shouldn't I be getting faster rate?

Can you list the specs of the drive? It could be too many different things to narrow it down, but it does seem a bit slow. Depending on the drive I would at least expect 20 mb/s. However, there are so any different factors that could be causing those number that it is too soon to blame it on the drive.
