I would think indexing would go on after the file has been completely transferred. But I did try to check by transferring another file. As I remember in previous Mac OS' you would click on the top right hand corner magnifying glass to see when indexing was happening. I don't see anything under 10.8.2. Do you know how to check?
A 512gb Samsung 830 in a 15" early 2011 and a 5400rpm 750gb in a 13" early 2011. I just remembered I was copying to another Samsung 512gb via a goflex fw800 adapter for the 13" 48MB a sec reading. Backing files up from a fw800 goflex to thunderbolt 2.5" goflex ( both 1.5TB) I still get a consistent 48MB a sec.
If you're getting a constant speed I wonder if it has to do with the USB 3.0 controller in the GoFlex Thin.
how full is your drive now? I guess it's just a slower drive (hard disk) when it gets full. I am still awaiting for CalDigit T1 SSD thunderbolt drives that can reach 470MB/s , the regular drive would not get you sustain data rate while it gets full or over some % of usage.
