Another External Hard Drive query.

It takes approx 6 minutes for me to transfer 70 photographs from my computer to my external hard drive, is this normal ?
Details are  1.50GB of Photos in RAW format.
Speed Transfer 4.04 Mb/sec

32 Mbps seems a bit low but there may be other limiting factors such as your antivirus scanning the data transfer
