I have been reading forums as I am gearing up to build a big transfer/compression station for use on conventions where the client wants MP4 files, instead of a mountain of data.
My idea is to buy a couple Firewire 800 PCI Express cards and have a couple 4TB drives internally.
After reading around it seems that people are having the slow transfer problem with 64bit versions of Windows. One person mentioned that his 32bit Windows XP transferred to his firewire mini just fine, and yet on his Windows 7 x64, it dropped to the slow rates you experienced.
Just out of curiosity, do you have a 64bit OS running on your laptop?
I hope to be able to afford building this system soon. 🙂

Have fun,
