Western Digital My Passport Essential SE External USB 2.0 Portable Black 720GB Hard Drive too slow..

Try plugging it into a high speed usb port, formating it with the size of your files in mind, so for instance if you have lots of big files, raise the allocation file size and visa versa, otherwise buy a faster one.
