Hi

This issue has been discussed over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=447474, and seems to affect a number of us.

File copy speed is very slow (roughly 5-10MBps) on SATA drives using this Intel chipset (and possibly others). Copying within the same physical drive is just as slow as copying to another physical drive. The issue occurs with GUI tools (Nautilus, Krusader) as well as at the terminal using the CP command. This has occured since upgrading to Feisty; Edgy was fine.
