How long to copy 10gb of data from one HDD to another?

Can anybody give me a rough figure? Both disks are 7200rpm.

Cheers!

How are they linked? Via the mobo's IDE, SATA or with an external drive which involve Firewire or USB1.1 or USB2?

Motherboard's IDE, copying from slave to master disk...

In the time its taken you to post a reply from your original post you could have copied 10GB over several times.

LOL! It's taking me all this time to organise all these files and folders that I'm about to transfer to my spare backup disk!
