Other factors include the current state the system is in (under load or not), other writes not relating to the extraction in the queue, whether the extraction is using a page file instead of RAM (and where that page file is), and so forth. It also depends on just how fragmented the drive is - usually a single pass with Windows Defragmenter will not completely defragment a drive, and that's no considering system files in use and page files. There are more factors to it as well, but these are some of the bigger ones. All in all it's not surprising.

No.1 Before doing this "test" I defragmented both hard drives
No.2 I was extracting on the same partition. First I extracted from system to sytem partition which took 2m14s and the I extracted from backup to backup which took 3mins38sec.
No.3 I did this "test" with everything the same in my pc , no background processes or anything, and I did it in the same time period, i.e. i first did it on the system partition and then on the backup partition right after.
No.4 This is not a one time, I made this test because everytime I make an extraction on the backup I find it too slow compared to when I make an extraction on the system.
