Is this one of the new 4096-bytes-per-sector Seagate drives? If so, you need to do some research around the 'net to find recommended procedures for aligning partitions. without partitions properly aligned (so that they start on a 4096-byte boundary) things are said to get veeeerrrrrrry sloooooooowwwwwww (though I have no personal experience of it, so I can't speak to HOW slow.)
