This is especially slow for some reason on WD drives with SES. I have a 
2TB WD USB3 drive for backups that has this issue. It's fine otherwise. 
NetBSD used to be a bit flaky with the SES operations (a long time ago) 
but it's great these days. My only wish was that it ran at USB3 speeds, 
but most USB3 drives can't exceed the USB2 spec (or not except for 
spikes). So, it's not a big deal to me.
