In not really seeing any difference between drives (both SATA150)

Would it help if i changed the windows VM setting from "programs" to
"system cache". of even disable the page page?


Probably not, it depends what the elapsed time is, are you getting
say 25 seconds to write , or something a lot slower?
25 to read then write 2 gig is all you are going to get.

Still, no speedup , hmmmmmm

If your sata drives have large onboard cache for lookahead and
write buffer they will be saturating at the disk write rate.
a multihead drive could read and write streams simultaneously, look at
their specs
With a typical drive tranfer read/write of 90mb/sec sata 150 can run two
drive streams near
maximum,

but thats a ***guess*** , it depends on the drives
yesterdays rule of thumb doesn't necessarily apply to todays technology
and I haven't been keeping up with hardware changes

if it is a lot slower you could check the cables and drive error rates
