We bought some new PCs in my company with the new iCore 7 and 8GB memory and the following hard disk: WESTERN DIGITAL WD8000AARS 800GB CAVIAR GREEN SATA2

The problem we have is that after installing windows XP64 SP2 the write speed of the hard disk is extremely low!.

The windows system monitor shows that the Average Disk queue length is always at 100% and a winzip extract of 350mb takes about 8min.

Is there any idea on where to start looking for the cause of that?

Thanks
