Slow file transfer with Caviar GP and Windows 7

Hello, I'm experiencing very slow file transfer with windows 7 and my Hard Drive:
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar GP WD5000AACS 500GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

When I move files from one partition to another or between this drive and the second drive, or even copy within the partition I get a speed of 50-80 but very quickly it drops to about 5MB/s which is real slow.

I've run Western Digitals' Data LifeGuard, Defragmented, removed the "Remote Differential Compression" component which is known to slow down file transfering ins Windows 7, and also disabled Windows Indexing service.

I've also ran a quick test with HD Tune which seemed to have reasonable results:

Dunno what else I can do...
thanks in advance for any help, Ofer.
