Ed: How much ram does your laptop have? At lot of should go away if
you have extra ram and can afford for 20% of the ram to be used as
writecache and still have enough ram such that you still aren't having
to page/swap.
The HDD referenced below came from a laptop.
The tower system I ran the transfers on, without any issues or kernel tweeks, has 8GB.
