Non-hacked 1TB mybook sssslllooowww - is that normal?

Hi,

I am using a 1TB MyBook over a 1000mb connection (my router & desktop are 1000mb). Basically I am just using the 1TB MyBook World as an extra backup (to my existing raid drive & WD Netcenter 250GB drive). The Raid data is 400GB & so far (24 hours into the transfer), its sent 300GB of the data.

This seems pretty slow, maybe slower than the old WD NetCenter drive. Is this normal? My WD MyBookWorld has not been hacked at all, just an OEM box.

Is this par for the course or is something wrong with my MyBook?

Thanks,
Rich
