don't think my system is optimised for linux

I would like to optimise my system. almost hangs everytime musicbrainz picard tries to scan a file, copies from hdd to other hhds are slow (like 20 mb per sec)

Seeing as I'm a linux newbie I just did the default install and didn't know how to do any more. I have a 180 gb intel ssd and a 3tb hdd intel core i7-2600K

I am thinking I need to make it go faster but I cannot supply any more info unless you guide me

Hi, unless this has been resolved by kernel updates I understood that GNU/Linux was still limited at being able to only see 2TB?

sees the 3tb ok for me just seems to be having to work real hard in musicbrainz or slow to copy

Just had a look at MusicBrainz website - too much for my brain!
