The drive may fragmentation issues. Windows defrag does nothing for it -- it may be metadata. You'd need DisKeeper or PerfectDisk for that. Or just format it. See what SMART says about the drive, Is it healthy? (I use the pro version of HD Tune for testing my drives. It has several speeds tests, plus it shows SMART data.)
