Ever since I bought my two drives from new egg 2 years ago I noticed the read speeds where really slow even though they had a high read/write speed.
I have the LG GGW-H20L

and the LG gh20ns15 dvd r/w drive.

Anytime I install a dvd rom game it can take about up to 45 minutes to install. Anytime I back up a sd-dvd movie for my zune , it takes up to 20 mins to extract the data using dvd decrypter or any other program. I have checked the read/extraction settings for the programs and they are set to either 16x or max or auto, yet I get read speeds of up to 4.4x at best.
These are both SATA drives and I thought they would be faster than IDE drives but I am not seeing a big jump.
So my question is, is there a program to monitor/tweet drive speeds for my system to see if it's been boggled down?
thanks
