I'd want to try the drive in another machine if I were you.

My initial reaction was that if you've tried the drive with different 
software & different media then you must've received a duff drive, but 
then I noticed your comments about XpostFacto. Since this is an older 
Mac it's quite conceivable that it's not capable of shoving data at the 
drive fast enough, so you may be out of luck. Clearly if you got such 
poor results with the same drive in a newer machine which is actually 
supported by OS X, then you would have good grounds for returning it to 
the supplier.

Stroller.
