    Test external hard drive speed

    It might happen that your computer will be having USB version 2 and your hard drive will be having USB 1.1 and there are many other things like your RAM and if you are using any other process at the same time that would also be one of the reason.Sometime hard disks run at different speeds: 5400, 7200, and 10,000 RPM are common. Also, on-board cache will make a difference in performance.

    Test external hard drive speed

    According to me there is no software which can test your external hard drive speed in such kind of case you need to check your process list only and check out that other processes are not slowing down your copy and paste thing and if you still have a doubt then you can visit any service center and tell them about the same they will show it with there device what is your data transfer speed.
