When backing up my important files to an external HD (7200 rpm), I have to put Windows in Safe Mode. When in Safe Mode I get transfer speeds of about 20MB/s. When running Windows normally , I get 100 kB/s. Anyone else ever experienced this?

Safe mode starts with limited processes. Obviously, you have something decimating your i/o usage when running Windows normally. You ought to sort that out.

20MB/s is really slow in and of itself.
