SLow internal hard drive transfer speeds
« on: August 07, 2016, 03:44:53 pm »
Hi

I'm getting very slow hard drive transfer speeds.  Both drives are SATA:

Seagate Barracude Green 2TB 6Gb/s 5900RPM  ST2000DL003

HGST 4TB 6Gb/s 7200RPM HDN724040ALE640

I'm transferring from the Seagate to the HGST.  I'm copying over some video tutorial courses, they're quite big ~ 14Gb each.  Each course has a number of videos averaging about 80-150Mb per video.  I'm getting tranfer speeds of about 8-9MB/s. 

I've ran CrystalDiskMark on both drives and they're reported as what I expect.  I've attached screen shots of the results.  The read/write for the Seagate is 124/120, for HGST is 150/149 respectively.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 and I have 32Gb of GSkill DDR4 ram.

As far as I know I think the chipset drivers are up to date.

I'm at a lost why the transfer rate would be so slow.  Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

That is about right they HHD's not SSD drives. You are using one that is 5900 rpm and one that is 7200. If you had a 10,000 rpm drive you would get over 200 mb a sec. Sorry but there really nothing that will help other getting SSD's.

I know for one thing, people are being asked in this thread to do things potentially harful to their equipment.

"Yeah just check for bent pins on the processor"
Not a word of how you would safely remove or in fact do this operation without causing irreperable damage to the chip.

If someone could explain to me how the forces of gravity on a desktop with a heatsing fixed firmly to a chip can cause it to move I would be grateful as would all studiers of quantum movement in a fixed state.

"How about a little common sense being applied before telling someone go ahead and pull your PC to bits and check all the pins on a processor are perfeectly vertical to the face. All this and not a single word about wearing  an earthing strap prior to removal, using an anti static mat to place pieces on, In cases where the fan has to be unscrewed from under the board, the safe removal of the wires, power, turning off the power supply prior to unplugging it to save surges

Ive only been messing around with Computers since I was 14 years old, Im now 54 and built hundred of em in my time. I hear all kinds of "Yeah that fixed it " type stories, they usually end up as customers at my company from bad advice given out on forums.

Not once have I read on a post on this thread about safety precautions or even loosening the locking device or wearing an anti static glove to take the chip out.

My old teacher once told me a story, he said "An empty vessel makes a lot of noise " forums are just the same, a place for them to make noise even though they dont have a clue what they are talking about. Id say a good 60% of these messages are just ways to get hits on the counter.

However. I doubt there one in 20 of the folks on here actually know what they are talking about. My memory is acting up because its been sat on a desktop for months, ever wonder why it gets mounted vertically, so its weight doesnt cause it to bend in the heat it generates. Why big cooling fans are fixed through a board by screws, so the plastic clips dont come loose. And the classic, "Yeah I move my desktop around the house all the time, its never gone wrong before".

Generally a Memory screw up as anyone that actually has a Z170 Intel board, not a AMD 3+ with 4GB of ram or a guy with 4 sticks of ram that give him a total of 24GB of ram, ever heard of 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 ad nauseum, Ive yet to see a 3GB stick of RAM in any DDR configuration. I think 40 odd years is enough to have seen one. And people are taking advice from that.

Most memory incompatability, can be fixed by the simple press of a button, wonder which one, here is a couple of very big clues, it aint on the keyboard and RTFM.

Y'all have a good day now ya hear.
