im currently transferring 80gb of data from a seagate 200gb 7200.10 to a seagate 500gb 7200.12.

both use sata2.

And im getting average of 58.7mb/s

Is this a good speed ? its taking ages!

thanks

Sounds like a reasonable number for that class drive

Do you mean 58.7 Mbits/s or 58.7 MByte/s ?

It's not just the amount of data, but also the size of the individual files. One 80gb file will be faster than say 80,000 smaller files as an example.
