Ok, so here we go:

Code:
 # diskinfo -v ada0
ada0
        512             # sectorsize
        2000398934016   # mediasize in bytes (1.8T)
        3907029168      # mediasize in sectors
        0               # stripesize
        0               # stripeoffset
        3876021         # Cylinders according to firmware.
        16              # Heads according to firmware.
        63              # Sectors according to firmware.
        WD-WCAVY1950152 # Disk ident.
Code:
# gpart show ada0
=>        34  3907029101  ada0  GPT  (1.8T)
          34  3907029101     1  freebsd-ufs  (1.8T)
Whilst I'm aware of sector sizes, head movement, parking, etc., it's just the level of slowness - no normal drive should take more than one second to copy two tiny files (< 2KB) when there's no other i/o on the disk - and assuming there's no other faults.

I'll try with an initial partition alignment and see how that goes, unless there's anything else you want me to try while I've still got the original setup?
