a side note about teracopy,
I've been using it for years but have recently been quite frustrated with it as it does not copy folders with nothing in them which can lead to problems getting a full copy of certain types of file based card structures. Just a word of warning, I sometimes have to manually copy and paste the files it missed after the fact which is not a reliable way to ensure you have made a perfect copy.

Trash the drives and get USB 3 ones.
I'm getting more than twice your speed on the cheapest drives i buy...

The files are approx 75 GB in size. I started one and it est time at 44 minutes. Half way through it's transfer my second file was ready to copy. When I added it to copying it said 2 hour estimate of time. I figure that would drop down especially once the first file finished but it seemed like I'd be better off stopping the second file copy and restarting after the first file finishes. I figure bouncing between writing two files simultaneously for a single disk ext drive would take more time than transfering the files one after the other. Curious if this makes sense to anyone else.I figure if I had both files to begin with and dragged them both over to the external the transfer would have been handled in a sequential manner, but I don't know if that's how a copy actually is managed by the finder. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject?John Moore
