[QUOTE="eguiyab, post: 521463, member: 40936"] Nope I have figured it out oddly enough. After the initial 18hr transfer, i searched the system profiler to see what was going on with my usb ports and transfers. It was stated that my FreeAgent drive had a transfer rate of 12mb/sec. Now i thought that this was wrong, and considering it was plugged directly into my iMac, it shouldn't be this way. I've transfered things in the past and i swear that this was a fast drive, and the spec even showed that it was supposed to be. Anyway, I decided to try a different usb port on the back of my iMac and checked the profile again. This time it stated 480mb/sec. Odd??? so long story short.... I transfered another 120gb to the drive in 1.5hrs. But why the two different speed on two different ports??? the specs on the iMac say that they are ALL usb 2.0. Any ideas?? [/QUOTE]
