Hi GTG!

I have a massive amount of files to move about my various external hard drives, and it is taking forever!

Do you clever people know of a way to improve the speed of the file transfers? I tried to move some movies earlier and it took over 11 minutes!

 

many thanks!

Hi Freebooter.

 

not sure what you mean by interface, but its USB cable between ext hardrives and my laptop which is running windows 7.

I will try your steps and get back!

what sort of speed should I get do you think? it starts at about 30 MB/S and is now at about 15 and getting slower...

 

how do I disable UAC?

 

thanks.
