Maybe its the quality of the encode/5.1 vs stereo etc. Most of my 1080 Youtube vid files are only ~6 mB/s.
Then again you must remember, the reason why most people need 2/3 TB drives is due to the fact that they have tons of full HD/surround vids that avg 4-6gb. I mean if you just have a bunch of 1080p Youtube Music Videos @ 100-150mb each, you would be better off with a 7200 1tb or 640 drive for overall better performance and for much less $.

you're joking, right? 2.5-4MB/s? not likely...Even my thumbdrive performs better than that.
